Matilda Mother (The Piper at the Gates of Dawn '67)
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 up On clouds of sunlight floating by Oh Mother tell me more Tell me more...
