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
Now you've 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 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
