[Verse 1]
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
[Chorus]
'Cause you are here when gone
You are here when gone
You are here when gone
You are here when gone
[Verse 2]
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
[Verse 3]
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
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
[Chorus]
'Cause you are here when gone
You are here when gone
You are here when gone
You are here when gone
[Verse 2]
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
[Verse 3]
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
