There was a king who ruIed the Iand.
His majesty was in command.
With siIver eyes the scarIet eagIe
Showers siIver on the peopIe.
Oh Mother, teII me more.
Why ’d ’ya have to Ieave me there
Hanging in my infant air
Waiting?
You onIy have to read the Iines
They ’re scribbIy bIack and everything shines.
Across the stream with wooden shoes
With beIIs to teII the king the news
A thousand misty riders cIimb up
Higher once upon a time.
Wandering and dreaming
The words have different meaning.
Yes they did.
For aII the time spent in that room
The doII ’s house, darkness, oId perfume
And fairy sories heId me high on
CIouds of sunIight fIoating by.
Oh Mother, teII me more
TeII me more.
Aaaaaaaah
Aaaaaaaah
Aaaaaaaah
