Here When Gone

　　Here When Gone - Jewel

　　I am a woman haunted by hands even though I'm alone

　　Traces of palm across my skin

　　An invisible map of where you've been

　　It's dry road to idaho a thirsty tongue across the land

　　And soil so dry it could swallow an entire man

　　Took the first road out of town hoping

　　you were just skin deep

　　But 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 would not get butterflies when you call

　　Your absence undermines the landscape

　　Incomplete without your body

　　like a pillar holding up the sky

　　My body thirsty for your touch

　　There's no use wondering why

　　Cause you are here when gone

　　You're here when gone

　　You are here when gone

　　Here when gone

　　And some birds abandon the nest

　　Cause the instinct is too strong to fly

　　Sometimes I feel like abandoning

　　My guitar and my books and I'm afraid that I know why

　　I'm afraid that I know why

　　Cause you are here when gone

　　You're here when gone

　　You are here when gone

　　You're know

　　You are here

　　You are here

　　You are here

　　You are here when gone

　　Oh your kiss lingers on my lips

　　It lingers
