Matilda Songtext

von Polly Paulusma

It started slowly
First a finger then a thumb
Matilda started disappearing
In front of everyone
No one noticed how translucent she become

As one by one
It started softly
First a fumble then a kiss
In all his dreams he'd never seen
Perfection like this
No one noticed her hand tug at his

As one by one
The walkers left the park
And one by one
The electric lights went dark
And one by one
He buried her down in this hole
I've got nothing to fear
Somebody knows that I m hiding down here
If I wriggle my toes
They're gonna come find me
If I wiggle my toes
I'm gonna get free

It started slowly
Like a joining up of dots
A dolly on a doorstep
And an empty cardboard box
The choir yawning as the final penny drops

As one by one
We called her name out loud
And one by one
We strained to hear a sound
And one by one
Our torch beam shown
Down in this hole
I've got nothing to fear
Somebody knows that I m hiding down here
If I wiggle my toes
They gonna come find me
Somebody knows that I m under these stones
They gonna come find me
