Christopher, Mr. Christopher — текст песни (styx)

I remember Christopher
such a man
so brave and tall

he took the baby Jesus
in his arms
across the waterfall

people cried, he`s holy!
he`s a saint not a man!
all at once it was written
in the book of the land

Christopher, Mr. Christopher
why won`t they leave you alone?
Christopher, Mr. Christopher
why won`t they leave you alone?

there was Mary Margaret
a Christian lady
dressed in black

she believed St. Christopher
helped her find
a way back

she told him all her secrets
and the dreams of her years
so when they took that saint away
all that`s left were her tears

Mary cried they`re crazy!
the world is changing too fast!
it was then she discovered
that her faith couldn`t last

Christopher, Mr. Christopher
why won`t they leave you alone?
Christopher, Mr. Christopher
why won`t they leave you alone?

Christopher, Mr. Christopher
why won`t they leave you alone?
Christopher, Mr. Christopher
why won`t they leave you alone?
