Jewel - Here when Gone текст песни

I am a woman haunted by hands

Even though Im alone

Traces of pompey

Across my skin

And an invisible map

Of where youve been

Its dry road to idaho

A thirsty tongue across the land

And soil so dry

You could swallow an entire man

Took the first road out of town

Hoping that you were just skin deep

Well I feel you like

Some sort of phantom limb

Beside me when I sleep

Cause you are here when gone

You are here when gone

You are here when gone

You are here when gone

I watch another grey day unfold

Its dusty wings

Sometimes I wish I were more like

Rocks and stones and things

Sometimes I wish my heart

Were not like flowers at all

That way I wouldnt get butterflies

When you called

Begin extra

And the night swallows itself

You can see it in the stars

The moon blinks its tired eyes

I may be a thousand miles to nowhere

Does that make me lost or found?

Oh - is it that relative to if youre around?

End extra

And some birds abandon their young

Cause the instinct is too strong to fly

Well I feel like abandoning

My guitar and my books and Im afraid

I dont know why

Cause you are here when gone

You are here when gone

You are here when gone

You are here when gone
