Only Daughter

[Verse 1]
Moon is on the water
I am an only daughter
Thinking of my mother and father
Dusk hits the bay

[Verse 2]
Tired old rowboat creaking
Purple martins speaking
In tongues of my childhood teaching
What I used to know

[Chorus]
Maybe I'll find myself back in my mother's arms
If I could just find myself
'Stead of sitting here wishing on a setting star
Burning bright

[Verse 3]
Dusty comet tails trailing
Remind me of casting out in the dark and waiting
For the pull of the line, now it's fading
Into the black

[Verse 4]
Spent all my life chasing
Had to feel my heart racing
To know I's alive and not wasting
Everything I had

[Chorus]
Maybe I'll find myself back in my mother's arms
If I could just find myself
'Stead of sitting here wishing on a setting star
Losing light
Losing light
Losing light

[Verse 5]
Cassiopeia's wrapped 'round me
Crescent moon is drowning
On a wave of ancient sounds
I'm coming into shore

[Chorus]
And I find myself back in my mother's arms
And I find myself (And I find myself)
And I find myself back in my mother's arms
In my mother's arms
In my mother's arms among the setting stars
Out of sight
Out of sight
Burning bright
