(mary-chapin carpenter)
When i was young i spoke like a child
i saw with a childĄŻs eyes
and an open door was to a girl
like the stars are to the sky
itĄŻs funny how the world lives up to
all your expectations
with adventures for the stout of heart
and the lure of the open spaces
ThereĄŻs two lanes running down this road
and whichever side youĄŻre on
accounts for where you want to go
or what youĄŻre running from
back when darkness overtook me
on a blind manĄŻs curve
I relied upon the moon
i relied upon the moon
i relied upon the moon and st. christopher
Now iĄŻve paid my dues ĄŽcause i have owed them
but iĄŻve paid a price sometimes
for being such a stubborn woman
in such stubborn times
i have run from the arms of lovers
iĄŻve run from the eyes of friends
iĄŻve run from the hands of kindness
iĄŻve run just because i can
But now iĄŻve grown and i speak like a woman
and i see with a womanĄŻs eyes
and an open door is to me now
like to the saddest of goodbyes
when itĄŻs 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
