THE CHILD IS GONE

Darling give me your absence tonight take the shades from the canvas and leave me with the white let me sink in the silence echoes inside and don't bother leaving the light on coz 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 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 coz i'm too far away i don't wanna talk coz there's nothing left to say so my darling give me your absence tonight take all your sympathy and leave it outside coz there's no kind of loving that could make this alright i'm trying to find a place i belong and i suddenly feel like a different person from the roots of my sould come a gentle coercion 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
