The Moon And St. Christopher

Lyrics

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
 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
