Lyrics
Matilda
Graeham Goble
April 27th, 1979
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 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
It 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
Says 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 my Matilda
