September When It Comes Songtext
von Johnny Cash

There′s a cross above the baby's bed
A Saviour 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

So when the shadows link them
Into an evening sun
Well, first there's summer then
I'll let you in
September when it comes


I plan to crawl outside these walls
Close my eyes and see
And fall into the heart and arms
Of those who wait for me

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
I watch the clock and sun
Oh, I watch myself depending on
September when it comes

When the shadows link them
And burn away the clouds
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
