'Make it go away'

There are days when you would give anything for a magic wand, so that you could wave it about, utter a few magic syllables and make all the bad things disappear. Other days you wish you could just gather up those who are dear to you in your arms, hold them tight and drive away the darkness. And then there are the days when the only thing that gets you through is the song, a dear friend played, when the world seemed a bleak dark place, devoid of light and happiness. This is for you*. Keeping you in our thoughts. Holding you tight.

*Yes You.

Make It Go Away
Holly Cole.

Make it go away or make it better
Isn’t that what love’s supposed to do
Make it go away or make it better
Cause I would do either one for you

This is not the way you should see me
This is not the face I recognize
Could I lay my head down here for a moment
Would you sing to me like I’m your child
Cause I’m not angry I’m not crying
I’m just in over my head
You could be the angel that stayed on my shoulder
When all of the other angels left

Make it go away or make it better
Cause I am waking
This more then one should have to take
If you do this for me then I will promise
I’ll make it go away for you someday

There are reasons silver linings
There are lessons but I don’t care
Cause I just need a hand that I can hold onto
When it’s darker then death out there

I’m so cold
And so far away from my home
But tonight you’re
You’re where I belong
You’re everything right
When I’m everything wrong

Make it go away or make it better
Isn’t that what love’s supposed to do
Make it go away or make it better
Cause I would do either one for you
(repeat)
