Capo 4

          Bm             G      D      A             Bm
There's a cross above the baby's bed, a savior in her dreams
G                D                    A           Bm
But she was not delivered then and the baby became me
          Bm              G        D       A               Bm
There's a light inside the darkened room, a footstep on the stair
  G             D              A                    D
A door that I forever close, 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


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
I watch myself depending on
September when it comes


When the shadows lengthen 
And burn away the past
They will fly me like an angel to 
A place where I can rest


G                     D
When this begins I'll let you in
   A              Bm
September when it comes
