Born of My Lover (Song for Ennis)
A pensive ballad, of a father's musings upon the future of his girl-child daughter.
Evocative acoustic balladeer
Story behind the song
One summer, my daughter was a little girl - but by the end of winter, seemed more a young woman. My little girl was gone - in her place, an unfolding mystery...
Lyrics
Born Of My Lover (Song For Ennis)
by Alan Kim Cochran
A bedeviled smile, for an impish tease
blue eyes, looking so much like mine
Born of my lover, a daughter to please
And, you'll be a woman, in time
Stallion rampant, but a woman's heart
Constitution of leather and steel
My daughter, you're hardy and sturdy and smart
Yet you can't always do as you feel
'Can't always do as you feel
And I was there when you first saw the world,
And all the wide world first saw you
Making your way as the birthing unfurled
'Twas then we were no longer two
'Then, we were no longer two
Stallion rampant, but a woman's heart
Constitution of leather and steel
My daughter, you're hardy and sturdy and smart
Yet you can't always do as you feel
'Can't always do as you feel
And, were will you go, as the years fall away?
What blossoms of forgotten spring?
Will you run wild, hold fast to the way?
And, what will your summertimes bring?
What will your summertimes bring?
Stallion rampant, but a woman's heart
Constitution of leather and steel
My daughter, you're hardy and sturdy and smart
Yet you can't always do as you feel
We can't always do as we feel
A bedeviled smile, for an impish tease
blue eyes, looking so much like mine
Born of my lover, a daughter to please
And, you'll be a woman, in time
You'll be a woman, in time
You'll be a woman, in time
