Matilda

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 tied as it is

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 hall

I've got nothing to fear

Somebody knows

That I'm hiding down here

If I wiggle my toes, they gonna come find me

If I wiggle my toes, I'm gonna get free

It started slowly

Like a joining up of dots

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

One by one we strained to hear a sound

And one by one our torch beam shown down in this hall

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
