The Child Is Gone |
| Darling give me your absence tonight |
| Take the shade from the canvas and leave me the white |
| Let me sink in the silence that echoes inside |
| And don’t bother leaving the light on |
| 'Cuz I suddenly feel like a different person |
| From the roots of my soul come a gentle coercion |
| And I ran my hand o’er a strange inversion |
| A vacancy that just did not belong |
| The child is gone |
| Honey help me out of this mess |
| I’m a stranger to myself |
| But don’t reach for me, I’m too far away |
| I don’t wanna talk 'cuz there’s nothing left to say |
| So my Darling, give me your absence tonight |
| Take all of your sympathy and leave it outside |
| 'Cuz there’s no kind of loving that can make this all right |
| I’m trying to find a place I belong |
| And I suddenly feel like a different person |
| From the roots of my soul come a gentle coercion |
| And I ran my hand over a strange inversion |
| As the darkness turns into the dawn |
| The child is gone |
| The child is gone |
