Don't take it all away
or lead them all astray
Oh Mater!

Don't make it all the same
or lead them all to shame
Oh Mater!

Here they are, your best friends
lying down on your bed

Don't take it all away
or lead them all astray
Oh Mater!

Don't take your love away
or lead them all astray
Oh mater!
My Mater!

Moving in the summer air
there's something there that can't
be named or beaten
Beauty is no evidence
but I still want to take your picture, baby
