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
