The Moon and St. Christopher

[Verse 1]

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

Lure of the open spaces

There's two 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 curve

[Chorus]

I relied upon the moon

I relied upon the moon

I relied upon the moon

And Saint Christopher

[Verse 2]

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

But I've paid a price sometimes

For being such a stubborn woman

In such stubborn times

And I've 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

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

And it's too late for turning back

I pray for the heart and the nerve

[Chorus]

I relied upon the moon

I relied upon the moon

I relied upon the moon

And Saint Christopher

I relied upon the moon

I relied upon the moon

I relied upon the moon

And Saint Christopher

To be my guide
