SEARCHERS:
Where can you be?
Come back to me
Come and find me
Follow my voice
Give me a sign
Cooee! (cooee!)
Irma! Marion! Miss McCraw!
Where did you go?
How did you vanish?
Come and find me
Follow the noise
Here is my hand
Cooee! (cooee!)
ALBERT:
They're not the only ones...
[Verse 1]
We're running round like it's the end of the world
To find a teacher and a handful of girls
The prayers
The tears
The desperate fears
Nobody bothered when my sister was gone
No dogs or coppers
Volunteers, hangers-on
Who cared?
Who tracked her disappearing act?
Oh I'll search of course I'll try (Oh I'll search of course I'll try)
I don't want to see them die (I don't want to see them die)
I'm only asking why?
Cooee!
[Chorus]
BOTH:
Nobody should ever have to disappear
Nobody should ever have to disappear
Irma! Marion! Miss McCraw!
Miranda!
Miranda!
[Verse 2]
Separated, relocated, cleared off the land
No one protested
No, they gave them a hand
No search
No clues
No front page news
I'll keep on going of course I will
All my knowledge all my skill
Won't give up until...
Cooee! Cooee! Cooee! Cooee!
[Chorus]
Nobody should ever have to disappear
Nobody should ever have to disappear
I'm right here and I refuse to disappear...
[Outro]
Follow my voice... (follow my voice...)
Cooee!
Give me a sign... (give me a sign...)
Miranda!
