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 people
Oh mother tell me more Why'd you have to live me there Hanging on my infant chair Waiting
You only have to read the lines They're scribbled in black And everything shines
Across the stream with wooden shoes Bells to tell the king the news A thousand misty riders climb up Higher once upon a time
Wandering and dreaming The words had different meanings Yes they did
For all the time spent in that view In doll's house darkness' old perfume And fairy-stories held me high On clouds of sunlight floating by
Oh mother tell me more Tell me more
