I miss you like the desert misses the rain

Through dark nights and warm sun shine
I sleep away and smile to mask the pain
I walk away the shallow thoughts of mine
Still i miss you like the desert missed the rain

Through dusty deserts and lakes placid
Through windy roads and icy peaks
I wander around looking for that which was mine
And i miss you like the desert missed the rain

No day has passed without your face in my mind
No night without dreams of your smile
When i ride the roads with flowers along the wayside
I see that you are never there in my side

Sleepless nights and aimless days had passed
With no reason to smile and live for no avail
still i carried on to live another day
till you became a faded portrait washed away
by dripping tears and weeping heart
and life was again back to the same straight line
and i heard the song so dear to you
and then i miss you like the desert missed the rain

and i come to know that life is no magic dream
you never get those all who are left behind
all that comes back are days and nights in vain
and that repeats again and again
now there is no bleeding heart nor throbbing vein
but i still miss you
like the desert misses the rain
