SINGER: Mary Chapin Carpenter

SONG:The Moon And St. Christopher

(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
and 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 to 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
and i rely upon the moon
i rely upon the moon
i rely upon the moon and st. christopher
to be my guide
