That's a new song by "Everything But The Girl". It's called "Missing".
the lyric is"and I miss you, like the deserts miss the rain"
kind of catchy isn't it? I bought the cd e.p. with 7 versions of the same!
The last one is from a Bon Jovi song. Bed of Roses, if I'm not mistaken.

I need you."

There was also a very similar Brothers Gibb (Bee Gees in the 70s)
song, a slow one, that contained many such lyrics; I can't remember if
it was actually called "I Miss You" or "I Need You", but it was slow
and pretty. Listen for it on "Oldies" radio stations that do 60s-80s.

Hi there
I think this is from the song: Missing of Everything but the girl.
Greetings
yelda
This person has gotten four different answers to this question:
America
Bon Jovi
Bee Gees
Everything but the Girl (which is a more recent group, I think.)
So, I have to wonder which one this person is actually asking for...
Just my six sense

The song is called "MISSING"
done by "Everything but the girl"
I have the lyric sheet if you need it!
I think it's that song by Everything But The Girl, called "Missing".
The chorus goes, "and I miss you, like the deserts miss the rain"
---Hannah
Sounds like "I Need You" by a group called "America" in the '70's.

There's a U2 lyrics, "like the desert needs rain, I need your love".
I cant seem to rememebr the name of the song, but it's on Rattle
and Hum. It could very well be called, "I need your love"

The song is called HAWKMOON and it is, as you said, on Rattle and Hum
(great album)

Nyetsky, my friend!! America's song says "Like the FLOWERS need
the rain / you know I need you"
>Everything but the Girl (which is a more recent group, I
think.)
The correct answer! I am a huge fan of ebtg, trust me on this
one.
By the by, ebtg is a typical "overnight success", they've been
around since the early 80s.

No, surely it's "Missing" by Everything But The Girl:
I step off the train, I'm walking down your street again
I'm walking past your door, now you don't live there anymore...
Is that the one?

I believe that:
if the words go:
i need you, like the flowers need the rain, you know i need you,
and i 'll shout it out again, etc.
Then the song is
I need You , by the group America. i think it's on their Greatest hits album.

Oh, well, I lose!
the main chorus goes like:
And I miss you, like the deserts miss the rain
Be ware if you are buying this though, the song that comes on the cd is an
acoustic version and it doesn't sound quite the same as the one that is
usually played on the radio (much better IMHO)

It's called "Missing", in fact - by Everything But The Girl.
