The Moon and St. Christopher

When I was young I spoke like a child

And 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 2 lanes running down this road

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 Saint Christopher

Now I've paid my dues cuz I have owed them

But I've paid a price sometimes

For being such a stubborn woman in such stubborn times

Now I have run from the arms of lovers

I've run from the eyes of friends

I have run from the hands of kindness

I've run just because I can

But now I'm grown and I speak like a woman

And I see with a woman's eyes

And an open door is to me now

Like the saddest of goodbyes

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 Saint Christopher

I rely upon the moon, I rely upon the moon

I rely upon the moon and Saint Christopher
