Intro
C | C | G | G
C | C | G | G
Verse 1
There's a [Em]cross above the [C]baby's [Em]bed,
A [D]Saviour in her [Em]dreams.
[C] But she was not [Em]delivered then,
And the [D]baby became [Em]me.
Verse 2
There's a [Em]light inside the [C]darkened [G]room,
A [D]footstep on the [Em]stairs.
[C] A door that I [G]forever close,
To [D]leave those memories [G]there.
Chorus
[C] So when the shadows [Am]lengthen,
[C] Into an evening [Am]sun.
First there's [Em]summer, then I'll [C]let you [G]in.
[D]September when it [Em]comes.
Verse 3
I [Em]plan to crawl [C]outside these [G]walls,
[D] Close my eyes and [Em]see.
And [C]fall into the [G]heart and arms,
Of [D]those who wait for [Em]me.
Verse 4
[Em] I cannot move a [C]mountain [G]now;
[D] I can no longer [Em]run.
I [C]cannot be who [G]I was then
In a [D]way, I never [G]was.
Chorus
[C] I watch the clouds go [Am]sailing;
[C] I watch the clock and [Am]sun.
Oh, I [Em]watch myself, [C]depending [G]on,
[D]September when it [Em]comes.
Outro
[C] So when the shadows [Am]lengthen,
[C] And burn away the [Am]past.
They will [Em]fly me, like an [C]angel [G]to
A [D]place where I can [Em]rest.
[C] When this begins, I'll [G]let you know,
[D]September when it [Em]comes.
