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
|
'Cuz 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 'cuz there's nothing left to say
|
So my
|
Darling, give me your absence tonight
|
Take all of your sympathy and leave it outside
|
'Cuz there's no kind of loving that can make this all right
|
I'm trying to find a place to belong
|
And 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
|
As the darkness turns into the dawn
|
The child is gone
|
The child is gone
|
|
