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
