Come Away Melinda Lyrics - Downunda - 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 

Daddy, hurry do 

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 the war 

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
