'Missing' by Everything But The Girl

I step off the train
I'm walkin' down your street again
And past your door
But you don't live there anymore
It's years since you've been there
And 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
Oh
(Like the deserts miss the rain)

Could you be dead?
You always were two steps ahead
Of ev'ryone
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

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 hangin' 'round your old address?
And the years have proved
To offer nothin' since you moved
You're long gone
But I can't move on

And I miss you
Oh-oh (Like the deserts miss the rain)
And I miss you, yeah
(Like the deserts miss the rain) And I miss you

I step off the train
I'm walkin' down your street again
Past your door
I guess you don't live there anymore
It's years since you've been there
And 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, yeah
(Like the deserts miss the rain)
And I miss you, and I miss you
(Like the deserts miss the rain)
And I miss you, yeah
(Like the deserts miss the rain)

Deserts miss the rain
(Like the deserts miss the rain) Like the deserts miss the rain
(Like the deserts miss the rain)

Ever heard of copy and paste, mandela?

I just gave marko the lyrics so that they would confirm or otherwise this was the tune s/he was after. Just trying to be helpful. Sorry if you don't like it.

thank you!

The original album version is quite accoustic, but Todd Terry gave the song a dance mix which was a massive hit - ironically just after the band's record label had dropped them.

Tracey Thorn has a voice that can make me cry if she catches me on the right (wrong?) day.

and that wasn't the whole song? u need to get out more love!

[Genesis]

I answered marko's question, and copied and pasted the lyrics. What's the crime? It took 5 minutes of my time, didn't hurt anyone and marko seemed happy enough.
