Paroles de Here When Gone

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
