There's a cross above the baby's bed, A Saviour 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
