September When It Comes Lyrics

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 there

When the shadows lengthen
into the evening
sun
first there's summer, then I'll let you in
September when it
comes

I want to crawl outside these walls
close my eyes and
see
fall into your heart and arms 
touch your face and breathe
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
watch the
clock and sun
I watch myself depending on
September when it
comes

When the shadows lengthen 
and burn away the past
I 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
