Missing

From Amplified Heart, by Everything But The Girl

I step off the train
I'm walking down your street again
And past your door,
But you don't live there any more.
It's years since you've been there,
But now you've disappeard somewhere
Like outer 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

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
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?
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
And I miss you, like the deserts miss the rain
