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 and 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
