Half step down

Intro

 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 stairs.

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.

So 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 know,

 September when it comes.
