I step off the train 
I'm walkin' down your street again 
And pass 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 ev'ryone 
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 hangin' 'round your old address
And the years have proved 
To offer nothin' 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) And I miss you

I step off the train 
I'm walkin' down your street again 
Pass your door 
I guess 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, 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)

Deserts miss the rain
(Like the deserts miss the rain) 
Like the deserts miss the rain
(Like the deserts miss the rain)
