Christopher, Mr. Christopher Lyrics - Styx

Written by Dennis DeYoung

I remember Christopher 

such a man 

so brave and tall 

he took the baby Jesus 

in his arms 

across the waterfall 

people cried, "he's holy! 

he's a saint not a man!" 

all at once it was written 

in the book of the land 

Christopher, Mr. Christopher 

why won't they leave you alone? 

Christopher, Mr. Christopher 

why won't they leave you alone? 

there was Mary Margaret 

a Christian lady 

dressed in black 

she believed St. Christopher 

helped her find 

a way back 

she told him all her secrets 

and the dreams of her years 

so when they took that saint away 

all that's left were her tears 

Mary cried "they're crazy! 

the world is changing too fast!" 

it was then she discovered 

that her faith couldn't last 

Christopher, Mr. Christopher 

why won't they leave you alone? 

Christopher, Mr. Christopher 

why won't they leave you alone? 

Christopher, Mr. Christopher 

why won't they leave you alone? 

Christopher, Mr. Christopher 

why won't they leave you alone?
