Amelia

There's a black ship in the harbor
 It came the other day
 It's got our names along the side
 It's headin' right this way
 And there's nowhere to run to
 And we won't get away
 And she's running through the hallway
 And banging all the doors
 Shaking all the windows
 Jumping on the floor
 But there's nowhere to run to
 And we won't get away
 And Amelia
 You don't have to go
 I know there's something wrong
 And you gotta let it show
 But I love you this way
 Amelia, stay
 And there's talking on the telephone
 And pictures on TV
 Words in all the papers
 And they don't look right to me
 They say a mighty storm's coming
 And we know who's to blame
 And she's running to the kitchen
 And to the kitchen drawer
 She's got a kitchen knife
 And she's kneeling on the floor
 "Gotta bleed my arm,
 Take some pressure off my heart"
 But Amelia
 You don't have to go
 I know there's something wrong
 And you gotta let it show
 But I love you this way
 Amelia, stay
 And there's a shadow on the hillside
 It's dark and moving fast
 Amelia, get inside now,
 Let's wait until it's passed
 I hear their talking
 In my sleep
 But she's running to the bedroom
 And she's ripping off the sheets
 She's leaning out the window
 Shouting to the street
 But Amelia,
 It's not me we have to fear
 Now she's running across the garden
 I know that I'm too late
 She's kicking at the hinges
 Screaming at the gate
 Gotta let the dogs out
 Before they kill us all
 But Amelia
 You don't have to go
 I know there's something wrong
 And you gotta let it show
 But I love you this way
 Amelia, stay
 And Amelia
 You don't have to go
 I know there's something wrong
 And I gotta let it show
 But I love you this way
 Amelia, stay
 Oh Amelia
 You don't have to go
 I know your love is strong
 But you gotta let it show
 'Cause I love you this way
 Amelia, stay
