Missing

besides_small(Tracey Thorn/Ben Watt)
B-side of Two O’clock Twice

Stepped off the train
I’m walking down your street again
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
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
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 hanging around your old address?
The years have proved
To offer nothing since you moved
You’re long gone
But I can’t move on

And I miss you
Like the deserts miss the rain
And I miss you
Like the deserts miss the rain

Stepped off the train
I’m walking down your street again
Past your door
But you don’t live there any more
It’s years since you’ve been there
But 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
Like the deserts miss the rain
And I miss you

And I miss you
Why did you have to move away?
And I miss you
To the USA?
And I miss you
Why did you have to move away?
