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,

 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 [bad word] 

 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 [bad word] 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,

 And I miss you —
 Like the deserts miss the rain.
 And I miss you —
 Like the deserts miss the rain.

 And I miss you —
 Like the deserts miss the rain.
 And I miss you —
 Like the deserts miss the rain.
