| 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 |
| 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 — |
| Like the deserts miss the rain |
|
| Back on the train |
| I ask why did I come again |
| Can I confess |
| I've been hanging around 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 — |
| Like the deserts miss the rain |
|
| I step off the train |
| I'm walking down your street again |
| And past your door |
| I guess 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 (deserts miss the rain) |
