I step off the train
I'm walkin' 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'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, oh
(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 'round 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, oh-oh
(Like the deserts miss the rain)
And I miss you, yeah
(Like the deserts miss the rain) I miss you

I step off the train
I'm walkin' 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've disappeared somewhere, like outer space
You've found some better place

And I miss you
Yeah-eh
And I miss you
You've found some better place

And I miss you
(Like the deserts miss the rain)
And I miss you, yeah
(Like the deserts miss the rain) and I miss you, and I miss you

(Like the deserts miss the rain)
And I miss you, yeah
(Like the deserts miss the rain) the deserts miss the rain
(Like the deserts miss the rain) like the deserts miss the rain
(Like the deserts miss the rain) and I miss you
(Like the deserts miss the rain) oh, I miss you
