sans video...sorry. (But click on my playlist on the lower right and you will find it) If ever there was a song written about miscarriage/pregnancy loss, this is it. I know...it's been over 10 years since my last miscarriage, and 18 since the first. I have never forgotten them...and I haven't met a woman yet who has been able to forget.
The Child is Gone
Fiona 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 dont 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 oer 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 dont reach for me, I'm too far away
I dont wanna talk cuz theres nothing left to say
So my
Darling, give me your absence tonight
Take all of your sympathy and leave it outside
cuz theres no kind of loving that can make this all right
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
The child is gone
