Jewel - Here When Gone - Текст песни

I am a woman haunted by hands

   Even though I'm alone

   Traces of Pompey

   Across my skin

   And an invisible map

   Of where you've been

   It's 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

   It's 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 wouldn't get butterflies

   When you called

   begin extra

   And the night swallows itself

   You can see it in the stars

   The moon blinks it's tired eyes

   I may be a thousand miles to nowhere

   Does that make me lost or found?

   Oh - is it that relative to if you're 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 I'm afraid

   I don't know why

   Cause you are here when gone

   You are here when gone

   You are here when gone

   You are here when gone
