lyrics

Got a letter from an island
Sender unknown
I started getting kinda frightened
Never been this far from home
Except a holiday in Belgium
I’ve only spent a week in Rome (alone)

I’ve just got a question
I just wanna know

Have you seen this girl?
She’s been missing for many months
Tell me have you seen this girl?
Her name is Rowan (her name is Rowan)
Please will you let me know
I’m Sergeant Howie number seven three
Staying just down the road
In a 2 star B and B

Went there in search of a child
You know that he knows there's a girl running wild
Interviewed the mother then he chatted to the sister
When he found out that they didn’t have a Minister
Things went from bad (from bad) to very very sinister
(He’ll never find her)

I got a letter from an island
Sender unknown
But in the area where I live
People simply use the phone (people simply use the phone)
They claim it’s faster and it’s cheaper,
Several studies have shown

I’ve just got a question
I just wanna know

Have you seen this girl?
She’s been missing for many months
Tell me have you seen this girl?
Her name is Rowan (her name is Rowan)
In a sea plane I flew
Came from a land not far away
Need a refreshing brew
(Hope you have a pleasant stay)

Went there in search of a child
You know that he's got a report to be filed
Interviewed the mother then he chatted to the sister
When he found out that they didn’t have a Minister
Things went from bad (from bad) to very very sinister
(He’ll never find her)

Went there in search of a child
You know that he checked that the climate was mild
Interviewed the mother then he chatted to the sister
But when he found out that they didn’t have a Minister
Things went from bad (from bad) to very very sinister
(And then they got worse)
