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 (And) Now you're 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 did I come again? Can I confess I've been hanging round your old dress? And the years have proved to offer nothing since you moved You've 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
