These are the games that we want you to play
We are your friends and we want you to stay
I said O.K. I will try

But as time passed by all the games grew so hard
Each day a hundred more friends did arrive
And I took to watching the clouds

Friend, we want you to stay
Want you to stay, want you to stay
Friend, we want you to stay
Want you to stay, want you to stay

The days they grew heavy with time on their back
Then I saw a man with a traveling pack
Out of the house I did go

I asked him the name of the town that he sought
And he said the next one and the ones after that
Slowly I went back inside

Friend, we want you to stay
Want you to stay, want you to stay
