Lyrics Here when gone Jewel

Here when gone

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
