The Child Is Gone

Darling, give me your absence tonight
愛人啊，請予我今夜以喘息
Take the shade from the canvas and leave me the white
抹去陰影，留白於我
Let me sink in the silence that echoes inside
任我沉溺於心中迴響
And don't bother leaving the light on
任燭火徹夜明亮
'Cause I suddenly feel like a different person
因舊我已恍若蕩然無存
From the roots of my soul come a gentle coercion
溫柔的逼迫自我靈魂深處發出
And I ran my hand o'er a strange inversion
我雙手反轉難以動彈
A vacancy that just did not belong
無處歸屬的空虛
The child is gone
我靈魂裡的稚孩已逝
Honey help me out of this mess
愛人啊，救我脫離這泥潭
I'm a stranger to myself
我與自己形同陌路
But don't reach for me, I'm too far away
但請不要尋我我早已走遠
I don't wanna talk 'cause there's nothing left to say
我的緘默只因無話可說
So my darling, give me your absence tonight
愛人啊，請予我今夜以安寧
Take all of your sympathy and leave it outside
收起憐憫然後走出房間
'Cause there's no kind of loving that can make this all right
從此再無愛可渡我
I'm trying to find a place I belong
我只願找到歸屬之處
And I suddenly feel like a different person
而我卻恍然如另一人
From the roots of my soul come a gentle coercion
似善的命令從我靈魂深處傳來
And I ran my hand o'er a strange inversion
我已如困獸意志漸弱
As the darkness turns into the dawn
黑暗過去黎明到來
The child is gone
可天真的我已經逝去
The child is gone
我的靈魂純潔不再
