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

in 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

FLAMING

Alone in the clouds all blue

lying on an eiderdown

Yippie, you can't see me

but I can you

Lazing in the foggy dew

sitting on a unicorn

no fear, you can't hear me

but I can you

Watching buttercups cuff the light

sleeping on a dandelion

too much, I won't touch you

but then I might

Screaming through the scarlet sky

travelling by telephone

hey, ho here we go

ever so high.

TAKE UP THY STETHOSCOPE AND WALK

I'm in bed, aching head

gold is red, choke I'm red

I'm the bread, gold is red

Jesus bled, pain is red

dark room

Oh no

Breeze is slow, you are slow

chill grow

feeling seems to melt the brain

seems to cause a painful brain
