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 ya 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
With 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 meaning
Yes they did 

For all the time spent in that room
The dolls house darkness old perfume
And fairy stories held me high on
Clouds of sunlight floating by 

Oh mother, tell me more
Tell me more
