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 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
