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 

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 'cause I have owed them 

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 the saddest of goodbyes 

When it's too late for turning back 

I pray for the heart and the nerve 

Photos 

And I rely upon the moon 

I rely upon the moon 

I rely upon the moon and St. Christopher 

I rely upon the moon 

I rely upon the moon 

I rely upon the moon and St. Christopher 

To be my guide
