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 you have to leave me there
hanging in my infant chair
waiting
You only have to read the lines
they´re scribbled in black and everything 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
Wandering and dreaming
the words had different meanings
yes they did
For all the time spent in that view
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
