Intro
When I was young I spoke like a child I saw with a child's eyes
G Am C Em7 D
And an open door was to a girl like the stars are to the sky
G Am C D
It's funny how the world lives up to all your expectations
Em Cmaj7 Em7 Em C Em7 D
With adventures for the stout of heart and the lure of the open spaces
Am Em7 C D
There's two lanes running down this road
G Am
And whichever side you're on
C Em7 D
Accounts for where you want to go
G Am
And what you 're running from
C D
Back when darkness overtook me on a blind man's curve
Em Cmaj7 Em7 Em C Em7 C
I relied upon the moon
G Am D D/F#
I relied upon the moon
G Am D D/F#
I relied upon the moon and St Christopher
G Am D G ( as intro )
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 lo I have run from the eyes of friends
I have run from the hands of kindness I have run just because I can
But 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 but it's to late for turning back
And I pray for the heart and the nerve
I rely upon the moon
I rely upon the moon
I rely upon the moon and St Christopher
G Am D G Am D
I rely upon the moon
I rely upon the moon
I rely upon the moon and St Christopher
G Am D Cmaj7 Em7
To be my guide
Am G
