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 summerthen 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 wayI never was.



I watch the clouds go sailing;

I watch the clock and sun.

OhI watch myselfdepending on

September when it comes.



So when the shadows link them

And burn away the clouds.

They will fly melike an angel

To a place where I can rest.

When this beginsI'll let you know

September when it comes.
