Matilda Mother Pink Floyd

[Verse 1: Rick Wright]
There was a king who ruled the land
His Majesty was in command
With silver eyes the scarlet eagle
Showered silver on the people...

[Hook]
Oh, Mother
Tell me more

[Bridge: Syd Barrett]
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

[Verse 2: Rick Wright]

With bells to tell the king the news
A thousand misty riders climb up
Higher once upon a time

[Hook]
Wandering and dreaming
The words have different meaning
Yes, they did
