I step off the train

I'm walking down your street again

And pass 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 again ?

Can I confess

I've been hanging'round

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
