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

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 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
