Just sit there quite still remain Oh don't go go go, go insane Say no no no no, to the pain When there's nothing left to gain Just sit there quite still remain Look at the drops of falling rain The dew on the morning glory Twirl petals in the memory Never thought that it was history When it would be worth the while Just walking along with a smile Climbing down the cold grey rocks Dealing with all the daily shocks Losing the way among the reeds Trained the mind to seek release And it sailed away with the breeze Who among the children would know Whatever happened to the kindly foe He sees traces in his shadow Of the boy who knew much more Before he left that golden shore Oh don't go go go, go insane Say no oh no oh no no, to the pain When there's nothing left to gain Just sit there quite still remain Look at the drops of falling rain
