          Em              C      Em
There's a cross above the baby's bed,

  D              Em
A Saviour in her dreams.

C                    Em          
   But she was not delivered then,

        D           Em
And the baby became me.
[Verse 2]
          Em               C        G
There's a light inside the darkened room,

  D               Em
A footstep on the stairs.

C                   G
   A door that I forever close,

   D                    G      
To leave those memories there.
[Chorus]
C                      Am 
   So when the shadows lengthen,

C                  Am
   Into an evening sun.

              Em                C       G
First there's summer, then I'll let you in.

   D              Em
September when it comes.
[Verse 3]
  Em               C          G
I plan to crawl outside these walls,

D                    Em
   Close my eyes and see.

    C             G
And fall into the heart and arms,

   D                  Em
Of those who wait for me.
[Verse 4]
Em                 C        G
   I cannot move a mountain now;

D                  Em
   I can no longer run.

  C             G
I cannot be who I was then

     D            G
In a way, I never was.
[Chorus]
C                        Am
   I watch the clouds go sailing;

C                        Am   
   I watch the clock and sun.

      Em              C       G
Oh, I watch myself, depending on,

   D              Em
September when it comes.
[Outro]
C                      Am
   So when the shadows lengthen,

C                    Am
   And burn away the past.

          Em              C     G
They will fly me, like an angel to

  D                 Em
A place where I can rest.

C                         G
   When this begins, I'll let you know,

   D              Em
September when it comes.
