The Moon and St. Christopher

When I was young I spoke like a child
And I saw with a childs eyes
And an open door was to a girl
Like the stars are to the sky
Its funny how the world lives up
To all your expectations
With adventures for the stout of heart
And the lure of the open spaces

Theres 2 lanes running down this road
Whichever side youre on
Accounts for where you want to go
Or what youre running from
Back when darkness overtook me
On a blind mans curve
I relied upon the moon, I relied upon the moon
I relied upon the moon and Saint Christopher

Now Ive paid my dues cuz I have owed them
But Ive paid a price sometimes
For being such a stubborn woman in such stubborn times
Now I have run from the arms of lovers
Ive run from the eyes of friends
I have run from the hands of kindness
Ive run just because I can

But now Im grown and I speak like a woman
And I see with a womans eyes
And an open door is to me now
Like the saddest of goodbyes
Its 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 Saint Christopher
I rely upon the moon, I rely upon the moon
I rely upon the moon and Saint Christopher
