September When It Comes Lyrics

There's a cross above the baby's bed,
A Saviour in her dreams.
But she was not delivered then,
And the baby became me.
There's a light inside the darkened room,
A footstep on the stair.
A door that I forever close
To leave those memories there.
So when the shadows link them
Into an evening sun.
Well, first there's summer, then I'll let you in,
September when it comes.
I plan to crawl outside these walls,
Close my eyes and see.
And fall into the heart and arms
Of those who wait for me.
I cannot move a mountain now;
I can no longer run.
I cannot be who I was then.
In a way, I never was.

I watch the clouds go sailing,
I watch the clock and sun.
Oh, I watch myself, depending on
September when it comes.
So when the shadows link them
And burn away the clouds.
They will fly me like an angel
To a place where I can rest.
When this begins I'll let you know,
September, when it comes.
