Pink Floyd - Matilda Mother (Barrett)
(addB)
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.
N..
Why'd you have to leave me there,
Hanging in my infant air, waiting?
N..
You only have to read the lines of scribbly black and ev'rything 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.
Of 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.
