There's a c ross above the ba by's bed
A s avior in her dr eams
But she was not del ivered then
And the b aby became me
There's a l ight inside the da rkened roo m
A f ootstep on the st air
A door that I fore ver close
To l eave those memories th ere
When the shadows le ngthen
Into a copper s un
First there's s ummer then I'll le t you in
September when it c omes
I p lan to crawl outsi de these wal ls
Close my eyes and s ee
And f all into the he art and arms
Of those who wait for m e
I cannot move a m ountain no w
I can no longer r un
I cannot be who I was then
In a w ay I never wa s
I watch the clouds go s ailing
I watch the clock and s un
I w atch myself depe nding on
Sept ember when it co mes
When the shadows l engthen
And burn away the p ast
They will f ly me like an an gel to
A p lace where I can re st
When this begins I'll l et you in
September when it c omes
