Matilda Mother [2010 Mix]

                                  There was a king who ruled the land. 

His majesty was in command. 

With silver eyes the scarlet eagle 

Showers silver on the people. 

Oh Mother, tell me more. 



Why'd'ya have to leave me there 

Hanging in my infant air 

Waiting? 

You only have to read the lines 

They're scribbly black and everything shines. 



Across the stream with wooden shoes 

With bells to tell the king the news 

A thousand misty riders climb up 

Higher once upon a time. 



Wandering and dreaming 

The words have different meaning. 

Yes they did. 



For all the time spent in that room 

The 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.
