There's a cross above the baby's bed,
A Savior 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.
