Melinda
Melinda. Daddy, daddy, come and look and see what I've foundA little way away from here while digging in the ground.
Dad. Come away Melinda. Come in and close the door.It's nothing but a picture book, they had before the war.
Mel. Daddy, daddy, come and see, oh daddy come and look.There's four or five Melinda girls inside this picture book.
Dad. Come away Melinda.There were lots of little girls like you,before they had the war.
Mel. Daddy, daddy, come and see,oh Daddy, hurry, do.There's someone in a pearly dress, who's all grown-up like you.
Dad. Come away Melinda.That someone is a motherlike you had, before the war.
Mel. Daddy, daddy, come and see,such things I've never seen.Happy places all around and all the ground is green.
Dad. Come away Melinda.That's just the way it used to bebefore they had the war.
Mel. Daddy, daddy, come and see, and tell me if you canWhy can't it be the way it was before the war began.
Dad. Come away Melinda.The answer lies in yesterday,before they had the war.
