Here When Gone Lyrics - Picking Up The Pieces - Jewel

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
