Lyrics

Every Mother’s Daughter
Words and Music by Diana Di Gioia

In a little town where nothin’ bad had happened
In a little house where days all looked the same
He was only 15, he said “You can call me Captain”
She was just 16, but hey, what’s in a name?
They were huddled at the brink of great adventure
They were poised between the 10 speed and the Ford
They had taken their instructions from the FM radio
Mesmerized by every word and every chord

chorus

And that first taste of love, like fire water
Can bring down the best laid plans
Of every Mother’s daughter
That first taste of love, like fire water
Can bring down the best laid plans
Of every Mother’s daughter

Close your eyes, the dark is your protection
Hide behind the curtain of your hair
The Queen of Hearts is starving for affection
Jack of Spades is bored with solitaire
He wanted her to be his inspiration
She wanted him to teach her how to fly
Buffeted by sweet infatuation
Her siren called, he eagerly replied

And that first taste of love, like fire water
Can bring down the best laid plans
Of every Mother’s daughter

Given time, she will find her own direction
Chart a path, by the light of ancient stars
Given time, and a little introspection
She will learn to play her own guitar

Chorus
