September When It Comes Chords & Lyrics - Johnny Cash

[D]There's a c[Em]ross above the [C]baby's b[G]ed,
A S[D]avior in her dr[Em]eams.
But s[C]he was not deli[G]vered then,
And the [D]baby became [Em]me.
There's a l[Em]ight inside the d[C]arkened r[G]oom,
A f[D]ootstep on the s[Em]tair.
[C]A door that I for[G]ever close,
To l[D]eave those memories th[G]ere.
[C]So when the shadows lin[Am]k them,
[C]Into an evening s[Am]un.
First there's s[Em]ummer, then I'[C]ll let you i[G]n.
[D]September when it c[Em]omes.

[Em]I plan to crawl ou[C]tside these wa[G]lls,
[D]Close my eyes and s[Em]ee.
And f[C]all into the hea[G]rt and arms,
[D]Of those who wait for [Em]me.
I cannot move a m[C]ountain no[G]w;
[D]I can no longer r[Em]un.
[C]I cannot be who [G]I was then:
In a w[D]ay, I never w[G]as.
I [C]watch the clouds go sa[Am]iling;
I [C]watch the clock and s[Am]un.
Oh, I w[Em]atch myself, de[C]pending [G]on,
[D]September when it c[Em]omes.
[C]When the shadows lin[Am]k them,
[C]And burn away the c[Am]louds.
They will [Em]fly me, like an [C]angel,
[G]To a pl[D]ace where I can r[Em]est.
[C]When this begins, I'll l[G]et you know,
[D]September when it c[Em]omes.
