The Moon and St. Christopher Lyrics
musician: Mary Chapin Carpenter
(Mary-Chapin Carpenter)
When I was young I spoke like a child I saw with a childs eyes And an open door was to a girl Like the stars are to the sky Its funny how the world lives up to All your expectations With adventures for the stout of heart And the lure of the open spaces
Theres two lanes running down this road And whichever side youre on Accounts for where you want to go Or what youre running from Back when darkness overtook me On a blind mans curve
I relied upon the moon I relied upon the moon I relied upon the moon and St. Christopher
Now Ive paid my dues cause I have owed them But Ive paid a price sometimes For being such a stubborn woman In such stubborn times I have run from the arms of lovers Ive run from the eyes of friends Ive run from the hands of kindness Ive run just because I can
But now Ive grown and I speak like a woman And I see with a womans eyes And an open door is to me now Like to the saddest of goodbyes When its too late for turning back I pray for the heart and the nerve
And I rely upon the moon I rely upon the moon I rely upon the moon and St. Christopher And I rely upon the moon I rely upon the moon I rely upon the moon and St. Christopher To be my guide
