Matilda - When something ends lyrics

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 climb up 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
