[Intro]
F6 Bb/F F Bb/F F6
[Verse]
Dm
There's a cross above the baby's bed,
C C6 Dm
A savior in her dreams,
Dm7 Dm
But she was not delivered then,
C Dm
And the baby became me,
Bb F
There's a light inside the darkened room,
C Dm
A footstep on the stair,
Bb F
A door that I forever close,
C F Am
To leave those memories there,
Bb Edim7 Gm F
So when the shadows lengthen,
Bb Gm
Into an evening sun,
C Dm7 C Bb F
First there's summer, then I'll let you in,
C Dm
September when it comes.
[Instrumental]
C6 Bb F C Bb F
[Verse]
Am7 Bb F
I plan to crawl outside these walls,
C Dm
Close my eyes and see,
Bb F
And fall into the heart and arms,
C F C Dm C
Of those who wait for me,
Dm C Bb F
I cannot move a mountain now,
C Dm C
I can no longer run,
Bb F
I cannot be who I was then,
C F
In a way I never was.
Bb Gm F
I watch the clouds go sailing,
Bb Gm
I watch the clock and sun,
Dm Dm7 C6 Amaj7 F
Oh I watch myself depending on,
C Dm Amaj7
September when it comes.
[Interlude]
F C F6 C Dm C6 Bb Dm F C F
[Outro]
Bb Gm F
When the shadows lengthen,
Bb Dm7 Gm
And burn away the past,
Dm7 C7 F
They will fly me like an angel to,
C Dm C
A place where I can rest,
Amaj7 F
When this begins I'll let you in,
C Dm7 C Bbmaj7 F
September when it comes.
