Like an actor who's grown up alone Like a poet on the telephone Like a spider without a home Girl I miss you I build a prison then you burn it down Take my heart that's buried in the ground You lift me up and then you spin me round Girl I miss you I wouldn't mind If I drifted into space I wouldn't mind If you lived in my place I wouldn't mind If I could see your face How I miss you Like the first time that I was born I'm impatient for the funeral horn Like Gene Vincent in a field of corn Girl I miss you You bought a fancy patterned tartan skirt Wrote my name in the original dirt You got a doctorate in how to flirt Girl I miss you I wouldn't mind I know life can be unkind I wouldn't mind I know I ignored the signs I wouldn't mind But love's so hard to find And I miss you I miss you You know I miss you Girl I miss you Like an actor Like a poet Like a spider You know it Yeah I miss you
