FIONA APPLE lyrics : "The Child Is Gone"

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 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
