September When It Comes Lyrics

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 thereSo when the shadows lengthen into an evening sun
Well, first there's summer, then I'll let you in, September, when it comesI 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 wasWatch the clouds go sailing, I watch the clock and sun
Oh, I watch myself, depending on, September, when it comesWhen the shadows lengthen and burn away the past
They will fly me, like an angel, to a place where I can rest
When this begins, I'll let you in, September, when it comes
