The popular Todd Terry remix version of “Missing” which resulted in worldwide success. The duo stated that the song was originally intended as a dance track.
“It was written with that idea in mind, totally… we put on sort of a laid back house groove instead. Then when we gave it to Todd, he took it...
[Verse 1]
I 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
[Chorus]
And I miss you
Like the deserts miss the rain
And I miss you, oh
Like the deserts miss the rain
[Verse 2]
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
[Chorus]
And I miss you
Like the deserts miss the rain
And I miss you
Like the deserts miss the rain
[Verse 3]
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 proven
To offer nothing since you moved
You're long gone
But I can't move on
[Chorus]
And I miss you, oh
Like the deserts miss the rain
And I miss you, yeah
Like the deserts miss the rain (Yeah, I miss you)
[Bridge]
I step off the train
I'm walking down your street again
And 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
[Chorus]
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 (The deserts miss the rain)
Like the deserts miss the rain (Like the deserts miss the rain)
Like the deserts miss the rain
And I miss you, yeah
Like the deserts miss the rain (Oh, I miss you)
Like the deserts miss the rain
