Why things can't be the way they were
Come in and close the door
Before this war began?
That thing's just a picture book
Answer lies in yesterday
Daddy daddy, tell me please
Tell me if you can
Come away Melinda
Come in and close the door
While digging in the ground
Daddy, hurry, do
Daddy daddy, come and see
You had before the war
Come in and close the door
Someone is your mommy
Come away Melinda
There's someone in a pretty dress
And she's all grown up just like you
A little way's away from here
Come away Melinda
They had before the war
