I was young I spoke like a child   I saw with a childs 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   Lure of the open spaces      There's two 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 mans 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      And I've 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      Now I've grown and I speak like a woman   And I see with a womans 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      I rely upon the moon   I rely upon the moon   I rely upon the moon   And St. Christopher to be my guide
