The Child Is Gone Lyrics

Lyric discussion by Spanky03 

Cover art for The Child Is Gone lyrics by Fiona Apple

I never read anything extra into the song, I always looked at it from face value, as if she were talkin about a miscarriage, ya know, an actual child...but after reading what you guys had to say, I think maybe she is talking about something innocent within herself. It kind of reminds me of Sarah McLaughlans song I can't remember the title but its on her Fumbling Into Ecstacy
