The Last Word

(Mary-Chapin Carpenter)

When I was young I spoke like a child
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 two lanes running down this road
And 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 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
I have 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

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 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
And I rely upon the moon
I rely upon the moon
I rely upon the moon and St. Christopher
To be my guide
