Darling give me your absence tonight Take the shades from the canvas and leave me the white Let me sink in the silence that echos inside And dont 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, Im a stranger to myself Don't reach for me, Im too far away 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 kinda lovin that can make this alright Im 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
