Pink Floyd - Matilda Mother lyrics

There was a king who ruled the land.<br>His majesty was in command.<br>With silver eyes the scarlet eagle<br>Showers silver on the people.<br>Oh mother, tell me more.<br><br>Why'd'ya have to leave me there<br>Hanging in my infant air<br>Waiting? <br>You only have to read the lines<br>They're scribbly black and everything shines.<br><br>Across the stream with wooden shoes<br>With bells to tell the king the news<br>A thousand misty riders climb up<br>Higher once upon a time.<br><br>Wandering and dreaming<br>The words have different meaning.<br>Yes they did.<br><br>For all the time spent in that room<br>The doll's house, darkness, old perfume<br>And fairy stories held me high on<br>Clouds of sunlight floating by.<br>Oh mother, tell me more<br>Tell me more.<br>Aaaaaaaah<br>Aaaaaaaah<br>Aaaaaaaah
