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
But 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

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
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?
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
And I miss you, like the deserts miss the rain
And I miss you

I step off the train
I’m walking down your street again and past your door
But you don’t live there anymore
