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
lengthen
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
When 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
