Come Away Melinda Lyrics

"Mommy, mommy, come and look and see what I have foundA little way away from here while digging in the ground.""Come away, Melinda. Come in and close the doorIt's nothing but a picture book they had before the war.""Mommy, mommy, come and see. Oh, mommy, come and lookThere's four or five Melinda girls inside this picture book.""Come away, Melinda. Come in and close the doorThere were lots of little girls like you before they had the war.""Mommy, mommy, come and see. Oh, mommy, hurry doThere's someone grown up and tall who doesn't look like you.""Come away, Melinda. Come in and close the doorYour father was a man like that before they had the war.""Mommy, mommy, come and see. Such things I've never seenThere's happy faces all around and all the ground is green.""Come away, Melinda. Come in and close the doorThat's just the way it used to be before they had the war.""Mommy, mommy come and see and tell me if you canWhy can't it be the way it was before the war began?""Come away, Melinda. Come in and close the doorThe answer lies in yesterday before they had the war."See Judy Collins LiveGet tickets as low as $87You might also likeEmbedCancel
