Story Behind The Song
Marjorie wrote this when she was diagnosed with a brain tumour and was waiting to have surgery. In fact she wrote most of it when she was in the machine getting her pre-op MRI! Despite this, it's a very optimistic song about love, faith and hope.

Lyrics
There's a hole in my head where my brain should be
But it's OK, it's all right.
'Cause I'm lying on pillows of mystery
In the day, in the night.
All I see is your lovely face
Filling up all the empty space.
Don't go away, never go away,
You said you'd always stay and I believe you.
I know that they said that it's all in my head
But I don't care, I don't care.
'Cause I know who's beside me in my bed,
I know he's there, I know he's there.
Where I least expect to see,
Awake or sleeping I can see.
Don't go away, never go away,
You said you'd always stay and I believe you.
All I see is your lovely face
Filling up all the empty space.
Don't go away, never go away,
You said you'd always stay and I believe you.
