Fiona Apple - The Child Is Gone lyrics

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
