"Missing [Todd Terry Remix]" Lyrics

Words by Tracey Thorn Music by Ben Watt

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 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 round your old address?
And the years have proved to offer nothing sinced 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.
And I miss you - like the deserts miss the rain.
And I miss you - like the deserts miss the rain.
Like the deserts miss the rain, like the deserts miss the rain.
And I miss you - like the deserts miss the rain.
And I miss you - like the deserts miss the rain.
