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?

About “Missing”
- Is this the same engraved sheet music a piano teacher would print for "Missing"?
- Yes — the score is rendered server-side from the publisher MusicXML using Verovio (the same engine RISM and OpenScore use). Standard piano notation, treble + bass staves, real chord symbols, key signature A. Print-quality and identical to what you'd see in a printed piano book.
- What key is "Missing" by Everything But The Girl played in?
- Missing is arranged in the key of A on Super Simple Piano. You can transpose to any other key live in the player.

- Is this the same notation a piano teacher would hand me?
- Yes — "Missing" is rendered at engraver quality (the Verovio engine, the same toolkit RISM and OpenScore editions use) from the original publisher MusicXML. You get standard piano notation: treble + bass clefs, key signature A, time signature, beams, dynamics — everything a printed sheet music book would have. Great for piano students learning to read music properly.
- What's the difference between Sheet Music and the other modes here?
- Sheet Music is the "classic" view — the one your piano teacher uses. Other modes (Beginner, Fall Down, Simple Sheet, Lead Sheet) trade real notation for color-coded notes and falling shapes to help absolute beginners. Use Sheet Music once you're ready to read both hands at once from real notation.
- Can I practice from this view at my own pace?
- Yes — slow the tempo from 100 BPM down (or up) without changing the pitch. The score scrolls in time and the currently playing note is highlighted, so you can drill a tough bar at half speed and bump it up once it feels comfortable.
- Why can I click a note in the score?
- Every notehead is interactive. Click and the audio jumps to that moment so you can drill a specific phrase or bar instead of replaying from the top. The currently playing note is highlighted as the music advances so your eye never loses its place.
- Can I download the sheet music as a PDF?
- Yes — Sheet Music PDF is one of the download formats for this song. The engraved score prints page-perfect on A4 / Letter so you can practice from paper as well as on screen.
