The Pit

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 as they pass us by
They gather all around and stare
On down into a dark, dark pit
Don't go, please don't go
But they step on in, oh, they fall all in
They walk all over you
'Cause 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 we'd hear

If I had one wish
I'd fill up that pit, I'd fill up that pit
Oh i'd cry 'til it filled to the brim
You'd swim to the top and I'd grab your hand

Oh, how can I
How can I convince you to stay?
Where all the flowers bloom, the grass
It sways and the rain, it pours
And the waves all roar
And the trees they grow
And the fallen crow soars down
Into that dark cold pit and you follow it in
Oh, you follow it in

Well, 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 we'd hear

If I had one wish
I'd fill up that pit, well
I'd fill up that pit, oh
I'd cry 'til it filled to the brim
You'd swim to the top and I'd grab your hand
