When September Comes

F6 Bb/F F Bb/F F6 Dm There's a cross above the baby's bed, C C6 Dm A savior in her dreams, Dm7 Dm But she was not delivered then, C Dm And the baby became me, Bb F There's a light inside the darkened room, C Dm A footstep on the stair, Bb F A door that I forever close, C F Am To leave those memories there, Bb Edim7 Gm F So when the shadows lengthen, Bb Gm Into an evening sun, C Dm7 C Bb F First there's summer, then I'll let you in, C Dm September when it comes. C6 Bb F C Bb F Am7 Bb F I plan to crawl outside these walls, C Dm Close my eyes and see, Bb F And fall into the heart and arms, C F C Dm C Of those who wait for me, Dm C Bb F I cannot move a mountain now, C Dm C I can no longer run, Bb F I cannot be who I was then, C F In a way I never was. Bb Gm F I watch the clouds go sailing, Bb Gm I watch the clock and sun, Dm Dm7 C6 Amaj7 F Oh I watch myself depending on, C Dm Amaj7 September when it comes. F C F6 C Dm C6 Bb Dm F C F Bb Gm F When the shadows lengthen, Bb Dm7 Gm And burn away the past, Dm7 C7 F They will fly me like an angel to, C Dm C A place where I can rest, Amaj7 F When this begins I'll let you in, C Dm7 C Bbmaj7 F September when it comes.
