 There was  a king-who ruled  the land-
 His Maj-es-ty  was in  com-mand-
 With sil-ver eyes-  the scar-let ea-gle
show-ered sil-ver on  the peo-ple.
oh,-------moth-er, tell me more.-----
 Why'd you  have to leave me there,hang-ing in my in-fant air,wait-ing?----
You  on-ly have to read the lines of scrib-bly black and ev--'ry-thing shines.--------
 A-cross  the stream  with wood-en  shoes,---bells  to tell-  the king  the news,--
 a thou-sand mist-y rid-ers climb  up high-er once  up-on----  a time.----
Won-der-ing  and dream-ing.  The words  have dif-fer-ent mean-ings,
Yes, they did.
All  the time  spent in  that  room,the doll's  house dark-ness,old  per-fume,
 and fair-y sto-ries held  me high  on clouds  of sun-light  float-ing  by.
Oh,--------moth-er,tell me more.
Tell me more.
