Traditional lyrics.


There was a tree
All in the wood
The prettiest tree
That you ever did see

Oh, the tree in a hole
And the hole in the ground
Green grass grew all around, all around
The green grass grew all around

And on that tree
There was a limb
The prettiest limb
That you ever did see

Oh, the limb on the tree,
And the tree in a hole,
And the hole in the ground
Green grass grew all around, all around
The green grass grew all around

And on that limb
There was a branch
The prettiest branch
That you ever did see

Oh, the branch on the limb,
And the limb on the tree,
And the tree in a hole,
And the hole in the ground
Green grass grew all around, all around
The green grass grew all around



And on that branch
There was a nest
The prettiest nest
That you ever did see

Oh, the nest on the branch,
And the branch on the limb,
And the limb on the tree,
And the tree in a hole,
And the hole in the ground
Green grass grew all around, all around
The green grass grew all around

And in that nest
There was an egg
The prettiest egg
That you ever did see

Oh, the egg in the nest,
And the nest on the branch,
And the branch on the limb,
And the limb on the tree,
And the tree in a hole,
And the hole in the ground
Green grass grew all around, all around
The green grass grew all around

And in that egg
There was a bird
The prettiest bird
That you ever did see

Oh, the bird in the egg,
And the egg in the nest,
And the nest on the branch,
And the branch on the limb,
And the limb on the tree,
And the tree in a hole,
And the hole in the ground
Green grass grew all around, all around
The green grass grew all around

And on that bird
There was a wing
The prettiest wing
That you ever did see

Oh, the wing on the bird,
And the bird in the egg,
And the egg in the nest,
And the nest on the branch,
And the branch on the limb,
And the limb on the tree,
And the tree in a hole,
And the hole in the ground
Green grass grew all around, all around
The green grass grew all around

Sheila, wondering what you have done.
Playing foolish games.
Never to be the same again.
Tomorrow, where will you be?

Sheila, wandering alone in the woods.
Sometimes she's afraid
that she'll never be the same again.
Oh Sheila, what have you done?

Arise, arise.
The smile of an innocent child.
Stay awake.
The lights have changed.

Sheila, wondering what she's doing now.
She could never see
how far her games had gone.
But what else could she do?

Arise, arise.
The smile of an innocent child.
Stay awake.
The lights have changed.

Sheila...

Away, away.
In the heat of a blackened day.
Afraid, afraid.
She'll never be the same.

Arise, arise.
The smile of an innocent child.
Stay awake.
The lights have changed.

Arise, arise.
The smile of an innocent child.
Afraid, afraid.
She'll never be the same.

new version of "Melody and the Stone"!


Part 1, The Calming Stone:

[instrumental]


Part 2, The Runaway:

Little girl, don't cry now
You ran so fast, you lost him
He's not chasing you now, girl
Don't cry, don't cry
But I know he's coming to
find you later, so go find
a good place to hide for your life

Ah........................


Part 3, Melody:

She likes the sun
She hates bad weather
She, she likes to dress in black
She is tired everyday
She thinks everything looks big
She doesn't want to fall asleep
She has a secret place of her own
She likes to rest at the stone

How did you get through those days when everything went wrong?
Why didn't you belong anywhere?
anywhere, anywhere, anywhere

She looks up at the sky
She wish she could fly
She likes to dream the days away
She wants to drift slowly away

How did you get through those days when everything went wrong?
Why didn't you belong anywhere?
anywhere, anywhere, anywhere.........




Part 4, The Calming Stone (Reprise):

"Morning sun sneaks in. I don't want to get up." Oh, no.
The words of a broken girl who only have one thing in her life that keeps her up.
She doesn't like the morning sun, but the sun is one of her favorite things.

The stone, the stone is hers. Only hers.
Ah, when she's restless and tired, the quiet stone is her friend.
She found her peace of mind.

Her dreams become so real, and she never has nightmares
Oh, at the stone.
She wish she'd never wake up. She wish to live a dream.
But that could never happen, she knows that life is mean.

The stone, the stone is hers. Only hers.
Ah, when she's restless and tired, the quiet stone is her friend.

The stone, the stone is hers, hers, oh...
Ah, when she's restless and tired, the quiet stone is her friend.
She finally found her peace of mind.

Wind blows around everywhere
and there is love in the air.
Sit on my favorite chair.
Feeling too easy to care.

Sometimes I believe it is.
Sometimes I don't think I am.
Sometimes I don't think it is.
And sometimes I know I am.

Brown shoes in the sun.
Doesn't like anyone.
Now the time has come
for me to be gone.

Sometimes I believe it is.
Sometimes I don't think I am.
Sometimes I don't think it is.
And sometimes I know I am.

Sun shines around you, love.
But not on you, love.
On my shoulder a dove.
No one on yours, love.

Sometimes I believe it is.
Sometimes I don't think I am.
Sometimes I don't think it is.
And sometimes I know I am...

Poppy... Poppy...

You are the sunshine in my life.
You are the light that shines.
You are so bright,
You shine of red light.
You are the sunshine in my life.

Oh...
Poppy... Poppy... Poppy...
