Mary Chapin Carpenter - The Moon And St. Christopher lyrics

(mary-chapin carpenter) When i was young i spoke like a child I saw with a child's eyes And an open door was to a girl Like the stars are to the sky It's funny how the world lives up to All your expectations With adventures for the stout of heart And the lure of the open spaces There's two lanes running down this road And whichever side you're on Accounts for where you want to go Or what you're running from Back when darkness overtook me On a blind man's curve I relied upon the moon I relied upon the moon I relied upon the moon and st. christopher Now i've paid my dues But i've 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 woman's eyes And an open door is to me now Like to the saddest of goodbyes When it's 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
