I'm walking down your street again
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
Like the deserts miss the rain
You always were two steps ahead of everyone
We'd walk behind while you would run
And I can almost hear you shout down to me
Where I always used to be
Like the deserts miss the rain
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
Like the deserts miss the rain
Like the deserts miss the rain
