Текст песни Come Away Melinda (Alt. version 2) - 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.
