Come Away, Melinda |
| Mommy, mommy, come and look |
| And see what I’ve 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 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 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 ground 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 |
