Come Away Melinda

Uriah Heep

 Daddy, daddy, come and look, see what I have found
 A little ways away from here, while digging in the ground 

 Come away Melinda, come in and close the door
 It's nothing, just a picture-book, they had before the war..

Daddy, daddy, come and see
Daddy, come and look
Why, there's four or five little Melinda girls
Inside my picture book

Come away Melinda
Come in and close the door
There were lots of little girls like you
Before they had the war..

Oh Daddy, daddy, come and see
Why, there's someone in a pretty dress
She's all grown up like you
Won't you tell me why

 Come away Melinda, come in and close the door
 That someone is your Mummy you had before..

Daddy, daddy, tell me if you can
Why can't things be the way they were
Before the war began

Come away Melinda
Come in and close the door
The answer lies in yesterday
Before they had the war...
