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 here.
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)
