“…and I need you, like the desert needs the rain.”
Funny how the songs in spinning class set my mind off. Returning to spinning class after almost a three-month break, I felt like the desert soaking up the rain atop my two-wheeled apparatus.
Who sings this song? What’s it called? I’m visiting some lyrics websites: http://music.yahoo.com/lyrics and http://FindMeATune.com. They’re yielding conflicting suggestions.
Update on Feb. 23
The verdict is in. It’s “Missing” by Everything But the Girl. You can hear it on a video clip.
By my reckoning the lyric comes from a song by Everything But the Girl, but I can’t remember the title….
Thanks for alerting me to that call for submissions of eonviornmental poetry. I’ll try to get something together before the deadline….

Hi,
Isn’t the lyric “I miss you, like the desert misses the rain?” I could be totally wrong, but I can hear the song in my own head now…

Jen,
You might be right. I often mis-hear lyrics.

Its “I need you like the flower needs the rain
You know I need you, guess I’ll start it all again” in song “I Need You” by AMERICA. See

It’s called “Missing” by Everything But the Girl (a British band, I believe, which is named after a furniture store…that’s what I used in my backsell on Magic)
