MOTHER & DAUGHTER (c) 1997 Monica E. Gómez Verse 1: Mother and daughter, smooth and rough water like the fork of a stream, divided by earth at the moment of birth they're one in the ocean of dreams. Verse 2: Green, blue and brown eyes, red, blonde or brunette their mirrored features compare. One's skin is thinning, the other's in bloom. They tie back then let down our hair. Refrain: Girls turn to women. They're wild and they're wise. You wonder where they got it till you see yourself in their eyes. Verse 3: Grandmother, mother, daughter, child -- nested vessels of clay -- filling with rain, sharing the pain, they stand in the waves and play. Refrain Bridge: Storms rage at midnight. The child is breaking free. Clouds pour their souls into a dark, heaving sea. Verse 4: Mother and daughter, salt and fresh water flowing side by side. The moon on the left, the sea to the right they laugh and cry with the tide. |
