Testo:
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
a door that I forever close
to leave those memories there
When the shadows lengthen
into the evening sun
first there's summer, then I'll let you in
September when it comes
I want to crawl outside these walls
close my eyes and see
fall into your heart and arms
touch your face and breathe
I cannot move a mountain now
I can no longer run
I cannot be who I was then
in a way I never was
I watch the clouds go sailing
watch the clock and sun
I watch myself depending on
September when it comes
When the shadows lengthen
and burn away the past
I 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
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
a door that I forever close
to leave those memories there
When the shadows lengthen
into the evening sun
first there's summer, then I'll let you in
September when it comes
I want to crawl outside these walls
close my eyes and see
fall into your heart and arms
touch your face and breathe
I cannot move a mountain now
I can no longer run
I cannot be who I was then
in a way I never was
I watch the clouds go sailing
watch the clock and sun
I watch myself depending on
September when it comes
When the shadows lengthen
and burn away the past
I 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
