Christopher, Mr. Christopher Lyrics
[Verse 1]
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
[Chorus x2]
Christopher, Mr. Christopher
Why won't they leave you alone?
[Verse 2]
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
[Chorus x2]
Christopher, Mr. Christopher
Why won't they leave you alone?
[Guitar Solo]
[Chorus x2]
Christopher, Mr. Christopher
Why won't they leave you alone?
I remember Christopher
Such a man
So brave and tall
In his arms
Across the waterfall
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?
There was Mary Margaret
A Christian lady
Dressed in black
Helped her find a way back
And the dreams of her years
So when they took that saint away
All that's left were her tears
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?

Actually lapofthegods is correct. DeYoung confirmed this in an interview in Creem Magazine just post the release of "Illusion". Being a raised Catholic (He and the Panozzo Brothers attended Parochial School together), he was like WTH but answered anyway confirming lap's response. I was there and read it. I think Patti Smith was on the cover of that issue
dear lapofthegods:
there aren't enough eyes to roll at your comment. if you spend a moment taking any rock lyrics literally, it is a moment wasted. the same is true for any words in the bible. have a nice day, and i hope you learn to interpret symbolism. :D come back when you can tell me what "black dog" by led zeppelin is about. hint: it's not sex.
