Matilda Mother

There was a king who ruled the land.His majesty was in command.With silver eyes the scarlet eagleShowers silver on the people.Oh Mother, tell me more.Why'd'ya have to leave me thereHanging in my infant airWaiting?You only have to read the linesThey're scribbly black and everything shines.Across the stream with wooden shoesWith bells to tell the king the newsA thousand misty riders climb upHigher once upon a time.Wandering and dreamingThe words have different meaning.Yes they did.For all the time spent in that roomThe doll's house, darkness, old perfumeAnd fairy stories held me high onClouds of sunlight floating by.Oh Mother, tell me moreTell me more.AaaaaaaahAaaaaaaahAaaaaaaah
