Mary Black - The Moon & St. Christopher (Feat. Mary Chapin Carpenter) (Live)

When I was young I spoke like a child
and 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 2 lanes running down
this road 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 Saint Christopher
Now I've paid my dues cuz
I have owed them but I've paid a price sometimes
For being such a stubborn woman in
such stubborn times
Now I've paid my dues cuz I have owed them
but I've paid a price sometimes
For being such a stubborn woman in such stubborn times
Now I have run from the arms of lovers
I've run from the eyes of friends
I have run from the hands of kindness
I've run just because I can
But now I'm 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
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 Saint Christopher
I rely upon the moon I rely upon the moon
I rely upon the moon and Saint Christopher
When I was young I spoke like a child
and 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 2 lanes running down
this road 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 Saint Christopher
Now I've paid my dues cuz
I have owed them but I've paid a price sometimes
For being such a stubborn woman in
such stubborn times
Now I've paid my dues cuz I have owed them
but I've paid a price sometimes
For being such a stubborn woman in such stubborn times
Now I have run from the arms of lovers
I've run from the eyes of friends
I have run from the hands of kindness
I've run just because I can
But now I'm 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
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 Saint Christopher
I rely upon the moon I rely upon the moon
I rely upon the moon and Saint Christopher
