I am a woman haunted by hands
Even though I'm alone
Traces of Pompay across my skin
An invisible map of where you've been
It's a dry road to Idaho
A thirsty tongue across the land
And soil so dry
It could swallow an entire man
I took the first road out of town
Hoping that 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
(And your memory is haunting my skin...(sung so far only at Jewelstock))
'Cause you're 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
The night swallows itself
You can see it in the stars
The moon blinks it's tired eye
I'm a thousand miles from nowhere,
does that make me lost or found?
Or is that relative to if you're around
'Cause the instinct is too strong to fly
Well, I feel like abandoning my guitar and my books
And I'm afraid that I know why
'Cause you are here when gone
You are here when gone
You are here when gone
You are here when gone
(And your memory is haunting my skin)
'Cause you're here when gone
