Capo 3
The Moon and St Christopher Mary Black (Mary Chapin-Carpenter)
Intro
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
And 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
( as intro )
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 lo I have run from the eyes of friends
I have run from the hands of kindness I have 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 but it's to late for turning back
And I pray for the heart and the nerve
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
