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
