Jewel - Here When Gone lyrics

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 bu*terflies 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
