September When It Comes

SEPTEMBER WHEN IT COMES C# D#m B F# There's a cross above the baby's bed, C# D#m A Savior in her dreams. B F# But she was not delivered then, C# D#m And the baby became me. D#m B F# There's a light inside the darkened room, C# D#m A footstep on the stair. B F# A door that I forever close, C# F# To leave those memories there. B G#m So when the shadows link them, B G#m Into an evening sun. D#m B F# First there's summer, then I'll let you in. C# D#m September when it comes. D#m B F# I plan to crawl outside these walls, C# D#m Close my eyes and see. B F# And fall into the heart and arms, C# D#m Of those who wait for me. B F# I cannot move a mountain now; C# D#m I can no longer run. B F# I cannot be who I was then: C# F# In a way, I never was. B G#m I watch the clouds go sailing; B G#m I watch the clock and sun. D#m B F# Oh, I watch myself, depending on, C# D#m September when it comes. B G#m When the shadows link them, B G#m And burn away the clouds. D#m B They will fly me, like an angel, F# C# D#m To a place where I can rest. B F# When this begins, I'll let you know, C# D#m September when it comes.
