The Child Is Gone şarkı sözleri

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 'Cause 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 'cause there's nothing left to say So my darling, give me your absence tonight Take all of your sympathy and leave it outside 'Cause 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 hands o'er a strange inversion As the darkness turns into the dawn The child is gone The child is gone
