The Child Is Gone Lyrics

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 coersion

And I ran my hand

O'er a strange inversion

As the darkness

Turns into the dawn

The child is gone

The child is gone
