Song	The Moon And St. Christopher
Artist	Mary Chapin Carpenter
Album	Shooting Straight In The Dark

	(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
