The Moon And St. Christopher — текст песни (Mary Chapin Carpenter)

(Mary Chapin Carpenter)

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
