Jewel - Here When Gone

Lyrics :
I am a woman
haunted by hands
even though I'm alone
Traces of Pompeii
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
I took the first road out of town hoping
that you were just skin deep
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 wouldn't get butterflies when you call

The night swallows itself
you can see it in the stars
The moon blinks its tired eye
A thousand miles from nowhere
does that make me lost and found
Or is that relative when you're around

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
That I know why

Cause you are here when gone
You are here when gone
You are here when gone
You are here when gone
