Here When Gone

I am a woman haunted by hands even though I'm alone
我是個女人，被飢渴的雙手追尋，儘管這樣，我仍感到孤獨
Traces of palm across my skin
你的手掌印記，清晰得出現在我肌膚上
An invisible map of where you've been
彷彿是一張隱形地圖，標記著你的曾經
It's dry road to Idaho, a thirsty tongue across the land
開車去魔鬼城，一路如此荒涼
And soil so dry it could swallow an entire man
如同飢渴的喉嚨，蔓延在大地，土地如此貧瘠乾旱，甚至可以陷入一整個人
Took the first road out of town hoping you were just skin deep
沿著1號公路，驅車駛出小鎮
But I feel you like some sort of phantom limb
沿著1號公路，驅車駛出小鎮，一路上，希望你的記憶只殘存在表面
Beside me when I sleep
但是你卻像我的幻肢，在我入睡時永遠在我身旁隱隱作痛
Cause you are here when gone
因為，當我走後，卻感覺到你在身旁
Here when gone
當我走後，你卻仍在身旁
You are here when gone
當我離開後，你卻仍在
Here when gone
當我離開後，你卻仍在我身旁
I watch another grey day unfold it's dusty wings
在我眼前，又是灰濛蒙的一天，展開著它沙塵的雙翼
Sometimes I wish I were more like rocks and stones and things
有時我真的希望我自己更像，石頭一類的東西
Sometimes I wish my heart were not like flowers at all
這樣我的心，就不會像鮮花一般
That way I would not get butterflies when you call
招引蝴蝶的到來，就像你打電話來時，我的心又飄了起來
Your absence undermines the landscape
你不在身邊，徹底摧毀了美景
Incomplete without your body like a pillar holding up the sky
沒有你的陪伴，魔鬼城就像一根光禿禿的柱子，撐著天一般索然無味
My body thirsty for your touch
我的身體飢渴著你的撫摸
There's no use wondering why
不必徒勞問原因
Cause you are here when gone
因為我離開後，你卻就在這裡
You're here when gone
我走了，你卻就在我身邊
You are here when gone
我離開你了，卻感到你就在這裡
Here when gone
你就在這裡
And some birds abandon the nest
就像有時鳥兒會放棄自己的鳥巢
Cause the instinct is too strong to fly
因為天性催促它們擁抱藍天
Sometimes I feel like abandoning
我有時也會想放棄
My guitar and my books and I'm afraid that I know why
我的音樂和詩歌，恐怕我知道這是為什麼
I 'm afraid that I know why
我知道原因
Cause you are here when gone
因為我走後，你彷彿仍在身旁
You're here when gone
我走後，你彷彿仍在身旁
You are here when gone
我走後，你彷彿仍在身旁
You're here when gone
我走後，你彷彿仍在身旁
You are here
你仍然在
You are here
你仍然在
You are here
你仍然在
You are here when gone
在我離開之後，你仍然在
Oh, your kiss lingers on my lips
你的輕吻仍然縈繞在我的雙唇
It lingers
仍然逗留
