Come Away Melinda lyrics

Mommy, mommy, come and look

See 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

Mommy, come and 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 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, mommy, please

Tell me if you can

Why can't 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
