matilda mother

Pink Floyd

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 glide
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 sories held me high on clouds
Of sunlight floating by
Oh Mother, tell me more
Tell me more
Aaaaaaaah
Aaaaaaaah
Aaaaaaaah
