Tracey Thorn - Missing lyrics

MISSING

Words by Tracey ThornMusicby 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. 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. 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'relong

gone but I can't move on, and I miss you - like the deserts miss the rain.
