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 poeple
They ask us why
They gather all around, to stare on down
Into a 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 till it fill up 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 till it fill to the brim
You'd swim to the top, and I'd grab your hand
