there's a cross above the baby's bed
a savior 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
door that i forever close to me
those memories there
so when the shadows lengthen
into an evening sun
first there's summer then i'll let you in september
when it come
i plan to crawl outside these walls
close my eyes and see and fall
into the heart and arms of those
move a mountain now i can no longer run
i cannot be who i was then in a way
i watch the clouds go sailing
i watch the clock and sun
oh i watch myself depending on september
when it comes
when the shadows lengthen
and burn away the past
they will fly me like an angel
to a place where i can rest
when this begins
i'll let you in september
when it comes
