Come Away Melinda
"Mommy, mommy, come and see, and look what I have found
A little way away from here, while digging in the ground"
"Come away, Melinda
Come in and close the door
It's nothing but a picture book
They had before the war"
"Mommy, mommy, come and see, oh, mommy, hurry, look
There's four or five Melinda girls inside this picture book"
"Come away, Melinda
Come in and close the door
There were lots of little girls like you
Before they had the war"
"Mommy, mommy, come and see, oh, mommy, hurry do
There's someone grown up very tall, who doesn't look like you"
"Come away, Melinda
Come in and close the door
Your father was a man like that
Before they had the war"
"Mommy, mommy, come and see, such things I've never seen
There's happy faces all around and all the grass is green"
"Come away, Melinda
Come in and close the door
That's just the way it used to be
Before they had the war"
"Mommy, mommy, come and see and tell me if you can
Why can't it be the way it was before the war began?"
"Come away, Melinda
Come in and close the door
The answer lies in yesterday
Before they had the war"
A little way away from here, while digging in the ground"
"Come away, Melinda
Come in and close the door
It's nothing but a picture book
They had before the war"
"Mommy, mommy, come and see, oh, mommy, hurry, look
There's four or five Melinda girls inside this picture book"
"Come away, Melinda
Come in and close the door
There were lots of little girls like you
Before they had the war"
"Mommy, mommy, come and see, oh, mommy, hurry do
There's someone grown up very tall, who doesn't look like you"
"Come away, Melinda
Come in and close the door
Your father was a man like that
Before they had the war"
"Mommy, mommy, come and see, such things I've never seen
There's happy faces all around and all the grass is green"
"Come away, Melinda
Come in and close the door
That's just the way it used to be
Before they had the war"
"Mommy, mommy, come and see and tell me if you can
Why can't it be the way it was before the war began?"
"Come away, Melinda
Come in and close the door
The answer lies in yesterday
Before they had the war"
