When I was young
I spoke like a child
And I saw with a childs eyes
And an open door was to a girl
Like the stars are to the skies
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 two lanes running
down this road
And whichever side you are on
Accounts for
where you want to go
And what you are running from
Back when darkness overtook me
On a blindman's curve
I relied upon the moon
I relied upon the moon
I relied upon the moon
and St. Christopher
<Interlude>
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
I have run
from the arms of lovers
I have run
from the eyes of friends
I have run
from the hands of kindness
I have run
just because I can
Now I've 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
Well it's too late
for turning back
And I pray
for the heart and nerve
I relied upon the moon
I relied upon the moon
I relied upon the moon
and St. Christopher
I relied upon the moon
I relied upon the moon
I relied upon the moon
and St. Christopher
to be my guide
