Matilda Mother Lyrics

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 moreWhy'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 shinesAcross the stream with wooden shoes
With bells to tell the king the news
A thousand misty riders climb up
Higher once upon a timeWandering and dreaming
The words have different meaning
Yes they didFor all the time spent in that room
The doll's house, darkness, old perfume
And fairy sories held me high on
Clouds of sunlight floating by
Oh Mother, tell me more

Tell me more
Aaaaaaaah
Aaaaaaaah
Aaaaaaaah
