Matilda Mother

There was a king who ruled the land
His majesty was in command
With silver eyes the scarlet eagle
Showered silver on the peopleOh, oh mother
Tell me moreWhy'd you have to leave me there
Hanging in my infant air
Waiting...
You only have to read the lines
They're scribbly black and everything shinesAcross the stream
With wooden shoes
Bells to tell the king the news
A thousand misty riders climb up
Higher once upon a timeWondering and dreaming
The words have different meaning
Yes they did(Musical Interlude)Through all the time spent in that room
The dolls house, darkness, old perfume
And fairy stories held me high
On clouds of sunlight floating byOh, oh mother
Tell me more
Tell me more....Aaaah, aaah, aaah, aaah, aaah (x4)
