I step off the train

I'm walking down your street again

And past your door

But you don't live there anymore

It's years since you've been there

Now you've disappeared somewhere

Like outer space

You've found some better place.

And I miss you, oh

Like the deserts miss the rain

And I miss you

Like the deserts miss the rain

And I miss you, yeah

Like the deserts miss the rain

And I miss you, ah

Like the deserts miss the rain.

Could you be dead?

You always were two steps ahead

Of everyone

We'd walk behind while you would run

I look up at your house

And I can almost hear you shout

Down to me

Where I always used to be.

And I miss you, oh

Like the deserts miss the rain

And I miss you

Like the deserts miss the rain

And I miss you, oh

Like the deserts miss the rain

And I miss you, hey

Like the deserts miss the rain.

Back on the train

I ask why did I come again

Can I confess

I've been hanging 'round your old address?

And the years have proved

To offer nothing since you moved

You're long gone

But I can't move on.

And I miss you, oh

Like the deserts miss the rain

And I miss you

Like the deserts miss the rain

And I miss you, oh

Like the deserts miss the rain

And I miss you, no

Like the deserts miss the rain.

I step off the train

I'm walking down your street again

(And I miss you)
