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.
