I step off the train
 I'm walkin' down your street again
 And past 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
 (Like the deserts miss the rain)
 And I miss you, yeah
 (Like the deserts miss the rain)

 I step off the train
 I'm walkin' down your street again
 Past 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)
