Matilda
=======
by Graeham Goble

Sitting at home on a Saturday,
thinking of all I've been through,
making my plans for a getaway,
going to shake off the blues.

And Matilda, she calls my name,
she's sending me back to the tracks again,
but I know that I'm really not to blame,
'cos a man needs some love now and then.

Sailing like a ship on the sea,
like a bird through the air,
so often she called, but I never was there,
just didn't take the time,
so lucky to find her, Matilda.

Wandering alone down the avenue,
seeing the faces pass me by,
there's hardly a one that I ever knew,
makes me so sad, I could cry ...

But Matilda, she calls my name,
she's making me try once again,
and it hurts me to have to explain
that a man needs some love now and then.

Sailing like a ship on the sea,
like a bird through the air,
so often she called, but I just didn't care,
never had time,
so lucky to find her, Matilda.

She's calling my name, it's a sound to behold,
says she loves me again and I need to be told,
so I give her my heart, it's worth it I know,
just to hear that she loves me so,
I'm right back on my feet again!

She's calling my name, it's a sound to behold,
she loves me again and I need to be told,
I know that she's mine,
so lucky to find her, Matilda.

Sailing like a ship on the sea,
like a bird through the air,
so often she called, but I just didn't care,
never had time,
so lucky to find her, Matilda,
oh wow, Matilda ...
