September When It Comes

	  		
D          Em             C       G 
There's a cross above the baby's bed, 
   D              Em 
A Savior in her dreams. 
     C              G 
But she was not delivered then, 
        D           Em 
And the baby became me. 
           Em               C        G 
There's a light inside the darkened room, 
   D               Em 
A footstep on the stair. 
C                G 
A door that I forever close, 
    D                     G 
To leave those memories there. 
C                      Am 
So when the shadows link them, 
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. 

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. 
                 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. 
  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. 
C                   Am 
When the shadows link them, 
C                  Am 
And burn away the clouds. 
          Em              C       
They will fly me, like an angel,  
G      D                Em 
To a place where I can rest. 
C                       G 
When this begins, I'll let you know, 
D                  Em 
September when it comes.
