It Won't Go Away

 

He closed his eyes above the map

decided where to go

He let his finger point the way

but what he didn't know

is that there is no better place 

than here to face your fears

It is here where it all happened

It is here they know your tears

 

It will go away if I fly away, oh you will see

Let it go away as I fly away, leave it behind me

 

His plane would take him down to Spain

away from all the fog and rain

He would return a rested man

and with a proper olive tan

But there is no better place 

than here to face your fears

It is here where it all happened

It is here they know your tears

 

It will go away if I fly away, oh you will see

Let it go away as I fly away, leave it behind me

 

Everyone will loose someone they love

Your brother lost his girlfriend

The butcher lost his wife

The neighbour lost his dog

The doctor lost a child

You lost your best friend

from the pain you can't hide

 

It won't go away if you fly away, oh you will see

It won't go away as you fly away, oh you will see

 

So when the boy returned from Spain

his heart was still in pain

He saw his brother for a chat

and on the couch all night they sat

'cause there is no better place 

than here to face your fears

It is here where it all happened

It is here they know your tears

 

It won't go away if you fly away, oh you will see

It won't go away as you fly away, oh you will see

 

It won't go away if you fly away, oh you will see

It won't go away as you fly away, oh you will see

It won't go away as you fly away, oh you will see
