Missing Persons Lyrics by Ray Davies

Return To Waterloo

1985

Have you seen this face?
Does it ring a bell?
Does it strike a chord somewhere in your mind?
And there's a big reward
If you help us solve this crime
And if you recognize this face, dial 999

Have you seen this face?
Dig deep in your mind
Has anybody seen that little girl of mine?
She was always a rover
But I'm afraid to say she's strayed
Too far this time

Now I'm sitting at home, staring at the wall
Waiting for the missing person to call
Waiting for the message I'm dreading to hear
Waiting to confirm my darkest fears
She's a missing person, I wish I could see
All of the places she might be
Maybe I stopped her from being free
Maybe there was something missing in me

Wherever she is, I hope she's doing fine
But I wish that she would phone or drop us a line
Till then I've got nothing to ease my mind
And I'm thinking about her all the time
