Lyrics: Tracey Thorn/Ben Watt
Music: Tracey Thorn/Ben Watt
VERSE:
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
Now you've disappeared somewhere
Like outer space
You've found some better place
CHORUS:
And I miss you
Like the deserts miss the rain
And I miss you
Like the deserts miss the rain
VERSE 2:
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
CHROUS:
And I miss you
Like the deserts miss the rain
And I miss you
Like the deserts miss the rain
VERSE 3:
Back on the train
I ask why did I come again
Can I confess
I've been hanging around your old address?
And the years have proved
To offer nothing since you moved
You're long gone
But I can't move on
CHORUS:
And I miss you
Like the deserts miss the rain
And I miss you
Like the deserts miss the rain
