[ti:Here When Gone]
[00:19.85]I am a woman haunted by hands even though I'm alone
[00:38.31]Traces of palm across my skin
[00:45.16]An invisible map of where you've been
[00:56.54]It's dry road to Idaho, a thirsty tongue across the land
[01:06.31]And soil so dry it could swallow an entire man
[01:15.10]Took the first road out of town hoping you were just skin deep
[01:22.87]But I feel you like some sort of phantom limb
[01:28.88]Beside me when I sleep
[01:34.45]Cause you are here when gone
[01:40.52]Here when gone
[01:44.76]You are here when gone
[01:50.51]Here when gone
[02:03.55]I watch another grey day unfold it's dusty wings
[02:12.49]Sometimes I wish I were more like rocks and stones and things
[02:21.70]Sometimes I wish my heart were not like flowers at all
[02:30.99]That way I would not get butterflies when you call
[02:40.11]Your absence undermines the landscape
[02:43.33]Incomplete without your body like a pillar holding up the sky
[02:48.85]My body thirsty for your touch
[02:53.55]There's no use wondering why
[02:59.46]Cause you are here when gone
[03:05.32]You're here when gone
[03:09.77]You are here when gone
[03:15.52]Here when gone
[03:18.67]And some birds abandon the nest
[03:22.72]Cause the instinct is too strong to fly
[03:28.71]Sometimes I feel like abandoning
[03:31.03]My guitar and my books and I'm afraid that I know why
[03:37.41]I'm afraid that I know why
[03:44.42]Cause you are here when gone
[03:50.18]You're here when gone
[03:54.68]You are here when gone
[04:00.30]You're here when gone
[04:03.40]You are here
[04:04.65]You are here
[04:06.45]You are here
[04:09.90]You are here when gone
[04:20.74]Oh, your kiss lingers on my lips
[04:30.43]It lingers
