I step out of the train,
I'm walking down your street again,
I passed your door,
But you don't live there anymore.

It's years since you've been there.
Now you've disappeared somewhere
Like out of space,
You've found some better place,

And I miss you
- like the deserts miss the rain.

Could you be there?
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,

And I miss you -
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 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

I step out of the train,
I'm walking down your street again,
I passed your door,
I guess you don't live there anymore.

It's years since you've been there.
Now you've disappeared somewhere
Like out of 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 (deserts miss the rain)
