Got off the train and
Go on your street.
I pass your house,
Which you have long left…
From the time when you left, years have passed…
Right now, you’re probably far from me,
It may be that in another galaxy,
Which is much better than this.
I miss you,
As the desert in the rain.
I miss you,
As the desert in the rain.
And maybe, you’re dead?
You’re always ahead of the
On a couple of steps.
Until all trailing in the tail, you’re running ahead of…
Looked again at your house
And it seems to me that you’re calling me
To yourself…
As it was then…
I miss you,
As the desert in the rain…
I miss you,
As the desert in the rain…
Already on the train
I ask myself: why again?
But honestly:
I often here am…
Past year
Brought no change.
You’re so long gone,
And after that my life stood still…
I miss you,
As the desert in the rain…
I miss you,
As the desert in the rain…

Step off the train,
I’m walking down your street again,
And past your door,
But you don’t live there anymore.
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,
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 hanging around your old address
And 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.
