Capo 4
Bm G D
There's a cross above the baby's bed
A Bm
A savior in her dreams
G D
But she was not delivered then
A Bm
And the baby became me
Bm G D
There's a light inside the darkened room
A Bm
A footstep on the stair
G D
A door that I forever close
A D
To leave those memories there
G Em
When the shadows lengthen
G Em
Into a copper sun
Bm G D
First there's summer then I'll let you in
A Bm
September when it comes
Bm G D
I plan to crawl outside these walls
A Bm
Close my eyes and see
G D
And fall into the heart and arms
A Bm
Of those who wait for me
Bm G D
I cannot move a mountain now
A Bm
I can no longer run
G D
I cannot be who I was then
A D
In a way I never was
G Em
I watch the clouds go sailing
G Em
I watch the clock and sun
Bm G D
I watch myself depending on
A Bm
September when it comes
G Em
When the shadows lengthen
G Em
And burn away the past
Bm G D
They will fly me like an angel to
A Bm
A place where I can rest
G D
When this begins I'll let you in
A Bm
September when it comes
