The lyric "And I miss you like the deserts miss the rain" from the song "Missing" by Everything But the Girl is a simile that compares the feeling of missing someone to the way deserts long for rain. Deserts are typically dry and barren, so rain is a rare and precious occurrence for them. Similarly, the speaker in the song is expressing a deep sense of longing and emptiness in the absence of the person they miss. The simile conveys the intensity and significance of the speaker's feelings of loss and yearning.

Who wrote the song And I miss you like the deserts miss the rain?

'Missing', written and recorded by the English duo Tracey Thorn and Ben Watt aka 'Everything but the girl' in 1994, and a big international hit. Lots of people seem to think the song, particularly the dance re-mix, was actually called 'And I miss you' and was written and performed by Sade, the (also British) band fronted by Helen Folasade Adu (herself better known as Sade) - perhaps because Tracey Thorn and Helen Adu have quite similar voices! There are lyrics for the song on the net titled variously 'Missing', 'And I miss you', 'Like the deserts miss the rain' etc., and attributed to Everything but the girl, Thorn & Watt, and Paul Denman, Stuart Matthewman, Helen Adu and Andrew Hale, i.e. the group Sade.
