Come Away Melinda (Alternate Version) Lyrics


Daddy, daddy, come and look
See what I have found
A little ways away from here
While digging in the groundCome away Melinda
Come in and close the door
It's nothing, just a picture-book
They had before the warDaddy, daddy, come and see
Daddy, come and look
Why, there's four or five
Little Melinda girls
Inside my picture bookCome away Melinda
Come in and close the door
There were lots of little girls like you
Before they had the warOh 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 whyCome away Melinda
Come in and close the door
That someone is your Mummy
You had before the warDaddy, daddy, tell me if you can
Why can't things be
The way they were
Before the war beganCome away Melinda
Come in and close the door
The answer lies in yesterday
Before they had the war

Uriah Heep is a British rock band, officially formed in 1969 in London, England, when record producer Gerry Bron invited keyboardist Ken Hensley (previously a member of The Gods and Toe Fat) to join Spice, members of whom included soon-to-become Heep stalwarts David Byron (vocals) and Mick Box (guitar). The band rapidly grew to become a seminal classic hard rock act of the 1970s and beyond. Their distinctive progressive/art rock/heavy metal fusion has always featured a massive keyboards sound, strong vocal harmonies and (in the early years) David Byron's operatic vocals.

Sometimes jokingly referred to as "The Beach Boys of heavy metal" for their melodic songs, and trademark multi-part harmony backing vocals, although their music draws on diverse influences including psychedelia, gothic sound, progressive rock, hard rock, early heavy metal, jazz, and even country on occasion.

Uriah Heep remains active, its lineup staying steady from 1986 to 2007, when drummer Lee Kerslake left for health reasons, and was replaced by Russell Gilbrook. The current lineup is: Mick Box (guitar, vocals), Trevor Bolder (bass, vocals), Phil Lanzon (keyboards, vocals), Bernie Shaw (lead vocals), and Russell Gilbrook (drums, vocals).
