I would rather stay here Where the flowers bloom and the sun, it shines It shines on you It lights up your eyes
Sitting here all by ourselves, counting all the people They ask us why Gather all around down and stare on down Into the dark, dark pit Don’t go, please don’t go
But they step on in, they fall all in They walk all over you One step at a time they all walk in a line down a false, false hope
I would rather stay here Where the flowers bloom and the sun, it shines It shines on you It lights up your eyes
I would rather stay here Where the moon, it glows Soaring doves and falling crows Laughter is the only sound here
If I had one wish, I’d fill up that pit I’d fill up that pit I’d cry ‘til it filled to the brim You’d swim to the top, and I’d grab your hand
How can I, how can I convince you to stay Where all the flowers bloom and the grass, it sways? And the rain, it pours and the waves all roar And the trees they grow, and the falling crow Soars down into that dark cold pit And you follow it in Oh, you follow it in
I would rather stay here Where the flowers bloom and the sun, it shines It shines on you It lights up your eyes
I would rather stay here Where the moon, it glows Soaring doves and falling crows Laughter is the only sound here
If I had one wish, I’d fill up that pit I’d fill up that pit I’d cry ‘til it filled to the brim You’d swim to the top, and I’d grab your hand
