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
'Cause 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
I just didn't take time
So lucky to find her
Matilda

Wandering along down the avenue
Seeing the faces pass me by
There's hardly a onе that I ever knew
It makеs 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 gave her my heart, it's [?]
Just to hear that she loves me so
And I'm 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
