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
