Here When Gone |
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 here when gone |
You are here |
You are here |
You are here |
You are here when gone |
Oh, your kiss lingers on my lips |
It lingers |
