The Moon & St. Christopher (Live)

The Moon & St. Christopher (Live) - Mary Black/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

I've run from the eyes of friends

I've run from the hands of kindness

I've run just because I can

But now I've 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
