THIS MOTHER'S DAUGHTER
(Jon Mayer / Leida Snow)

as recorded by Nancy Wilson
1976


Lies beyond her years,
This mother's daughter is gonna bring tears,
Tears to her family,
Tears to the men who hold her tenderly!

Lies beyond her days,
This mother's daughter is gonna wake waves,
Waves like the stormy sea,
Storms in the men who want her desperately!

This mother's daughter will ride the wind,
This mother's daughter will see the end of time go by,
With time to cry,
Ooh, ooh, ooh!

Lies beyond the rain,
This mother's daughter is gonna know pain,
Pain in her gentle soul,
Pain in the eyes of men she will control!

This mother's daughter will ride the wind,
This mother's daughter will see the end of time go by,
With time to cry,
Ooh, ooh, ooh!

This mother's daughter will ride the wind,
This mother's daughter will see the end of time go by,
With time to cry,
Ooh, ooh, ooh!

This mother's daughter will ride the wind,
This mother's daughter will see the end of time go by,
With time to cry,
Ooh, ooh, ooh!

This mother's daughter,
(This mother's daughter)
This mother's daughter,
(This mother's daughter)
This mother's daughter, cry,
(This mother's daughter)...
