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, yeah
And now you've disappeared somewhere
Like outer space
You've found some better place

And I miss you, yeah
Like the deserts miss the rain
And I miss you, yeah
Like the deserts miss the rain, yeah

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, yeah
Like the deserts miss the rain
And I miss you, yeah
Like the deserts miss the rain

I'm 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, no
You're long-gone
But I can't move on

And I miss you, yeah
Like the deserts miss the rain
And I miss you, yeah
Like the deserts miss the rain
Ooh, yeah
Like the deserts miss the rain
