[Verse 1]
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

[Chorus]
And I miss you
Like the deserts miss the rain
And I miss you
Like the deserts miss the rain, yeah

[Verse 2]
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

[Chorus]
And I miss you
Like the deserts miss the rain
And I miss you
Like the deserts miss the rain, uh
[Verse 3]
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've moved
You're long gone, but I can't move on

[Chorus]
And I miss you
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
