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 disappeared

somewhere like outer space

you 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 there

you always were two steps ahead

of everyone

the path 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

and i miss you yeah

like the deserts miss the rain

back on the train

i ask why did i come again

can i confess

i've been hanging around your old dress

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 yeah

like the deserts miss the rain

and i miss you

like the deserts miss the rain

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 disappeared

somewhere like outer space

you found some better place

and i miss you yeah

like the deserts miss the rain

and i miss you

oh

like the deserts miss the rain

and i miss you

like the deserts miss

the rain and i miss you

oh

like the deserts miss the rain and i miss you yeah

like the deserts miss the rain and i miss you

like the deserts miss the rain
