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 dont 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 oer a strange inversion A vacancy that just did not belong The child is gone Honey help me out of this mess Im a stranger to myself But dont reach for me, Im too far away I dont wanna talk cuz theres nothing left to say So my Darling, give me your absence tonight Take all of your sympathy and leave it outside cuz theres no kind of loving that can make this all right Im 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
