お捨てメリンダ

歌詞

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 Where 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! While 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
