The Child Is Gone Full Lyrics
[00:22.24] Darling, give me your absence tonight
[00:29.22] Take the shade from the canvas and leave me the white
[00:36.38] Let me sink in the silence that echoes inside
[00:43.19] And don't bother leaving the light on
[00:51.39] 'Cause I suddenly feel like a different person
[00:58.09] From the roots of my soul come a gentle coercion
[01:05.97] And I ran my hand o'er a strange inversion
[01:15.36] A vacancy that just did not belong
[01:23.89] The child is gone
[01:41.22] Honey help me out of this mess
[01:49.08] I'm a stranger to myself
[01:56.55] But don't reach for me, I'm too far away
[02:03.46] I don't wanna talk 'cause there's nothing left to say
[02:09.80] So my darling, give me your absence tonight
[02:17.67] Take all of your sympathy and leave it outside
[02:26.63] 'Cause there's no kind of loving that can make this all right
[02:32.50] I'm trying to find a place I belong
[02:41.00] And I suddenly feel like a different person
[02:47.53] From the roots of my soul come a gentle coercion
[02:54.37] And I ran my hand o'er a strange inversion
[03:03.86] As the darkness turns into the dawn
[03:14.00] The child is gone
[03:21.82] The child is gone
