Missing You

i 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

(and) now you're disappeared somewhere like outer space

you've found some better place

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 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 round your old dress

and the years have proved to offer nothing since you moved

you've 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
