The Child Is Gone - Fiona Apple (费安娜·苹果)

Written by：F. Apple

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 over 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 want to 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 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
