Mother

If ever I had been away,
if ever I hadn't taken that way,
if ever your eyes had turned away,
if ever

But no, we went for a ride,
You and me astride,
and to help me, no guide,
so it was

You've been my mother,
you've been my lover,
you'll be that forever forever

This is the way things are,
we'll never be on a par,
for my mother you are,

... and you'll be till I'm dead.
