“Mother and Daughter” by Winona Oak is a heartfelt tribute to the relationship between a mother and daughter. The song depicts a conversation between the two, with the daughter reflecting on her mother’s influence on her life. The first verse describes the setting as a conversation about politics in...
[Verse 1]
Sitting in your garden, talking 'bout politics
Kinda grown up, but I still feel like a kid
Snow on the ground, but you're telling me it's spring
No one wants the sun more than you do on your skin
[Pre-Chorus]
And you still keep my room the way I left it
Even though it always was a mess
And all the revolutions that I started
You made me think that I could change the world
[Chorus]
I don't have time to put my head under water
Riding the wave about as long as I can
You know what they say about a mother and daughter
There's no way to break us, nobody can take us
But I'm still afraid they can
[Verse 2]
It's tough for women in a family of only men
You always have to put your own needs after them
Makes sensе your mother was the smartest in hеr class
But if you don't have the money, you better start working fast
[Pre-Chorus]
Thanks to you, I've grown into a fighter
You taught me to be proud of every bruise
And if I ever dare to have a daughter
I swear I'll try my best to be like you
[Chorus]
I don't have time to put my head under water
Riding the wave about as long as I can
You know what they say about a mother and daughter
There's no way to break us, nobody can take us
But I'm still afraid they can
[Bridge]
I wanna have time
Give me more time
A little more time
Just give us some time
I wanna have time
Give me some time
I wanna have time
[Outro]
But I'm still afraid they can
