Lyrics

I step off the train.

I’m walk ing down your street a gain

and past your ’ry door,

but you don’t live there an y more.

It’s years since you’ve been there.

and Now you’ve dis ap peared some where

like out er space.

You’ve found some bet ter place.

And I miss you

like the (G)des erts miss the rain.

And I miss you

like the (G)des erts miss the rain.

I Could you be dead?

You al ways were two steps a head

and of ev ’ry one.

We’d walk be hind while you would run.

I look up at your house,

and I can al most hear you shout

down to me where

I al ways used to be.

And I miss you

like the (G)des erts miss the rain.

And I miss you

like the (G)des erts miss the rain.

And Back on the train,

I ask, “Why did I come a gain?”

Can I con fess

I’ve been hang ing a round your old ad dress?

And the years have proved

to of fer noth ing since you moved.

You’re long con gone,

I’ve been hang ing a round your old ad dress?

but I can’t move on.

And I miss you

like the (G)des erts miss the rain.

And I miss you

like the (G)des erts miss the rain.

I step off the train.

I’m (G)walk ing down your street a gain

and past your door.

I guess (Em)you don’t live there an y more.

It’s (Am7)years since you’ve been there,

and now you’ve dis ap peared some (Fmaj7)where

like out er space.

You’ve found some bet ter place.

And I miss you

like the (G)des erts miss the rain.

And I miss (Am9)you

like the (G)des erts miss the rain.

And I miss you

like the (G)des erts miss the rain.

And I miss (Am9)you

like the (G)des erts miss the rain.

And I miss you
