Matilda Mother - 2011 Remaster

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 leave me there
Hanging in my infant air, waiting?
You only have to read the lines
Of scribbly 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

Wondering and dreaming
The words have different meanings
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
