Step off the train
Walking down your street again
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
Like the deserts miss the rain
And I miss you
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
Look up at your house
I can almost hear you shout down to me
Where I always used to be

And I miss you
Like the deserts miss the rain
And I miss you
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?
The years have proved
To offer nothing since you've moved
You're long gone, but I can't move on

And I miss you
Like the deserts miss the rain
And I miss you
Like the deserts miss the rain (yeah I miss you)

I step off the train
I'm walking down your street again
Past your door
I guess you don't live there anymore
It's years since you've been there
And now you've disappeared somewhere
Like outer space
You've found some better place

And I miss you
Like the deserts miss the rain
And I miss you, yeah
Like the deserts miss the rain (I miss you)
And I miss you
Like the deserts miss the rain
And I miss you, yeah
Like the deserts miss the rain (like the deserts miss the rain)
like the deserts miss the rain
(Like the deserts miss the rain) and I miss you, yeah
(Like the deserts miss the rain) oh, how I miss you
(Like the deserts miss the rain)
