I'll sing myself to sleep
A song from my darkest hour
Secrets I can't keep inside of the day
I'd swing from high to deep extremes of sweet and sour
I hope that God exists
I hope, I pray
Drawn by the undertow
My life is out of control
I believe this wave will bear my weight
So let it flow
Oh, sit down, oh, sit down, oh, sit down
Sit down next to me
Sit down, down, down, down, down
In sympathy
♪
Now, I'm relieved to hear
That you've been to some far out places
It's hard to carry on
When you feel all alone
The wisdom that I seek
Has been found in the strangest spaces
It feels a lot like love
That I feel for you
Now, I've swung back down again
It's worse than it was before
If I hadn't seen such riches
I could live with being poor
Oh, sit down, oh, sit down, oh, sit down
Sit down next to me
Sit down, down, down, down, down
In sympathy
♪
Those who feel the breath of sadness
Sit down next to me
Those who find they're touched by madness
Sit down next to me
Those who find themselves ridiculous
Sit down next to me
In love and fear, and hate, and tears
In love and fear, and hate, and tears
In love and fear, and hate, and tears
In love and fear, and hate
Down
Down
Oh, sit down, oh, sit down, oh, sit down
Sit down next to me
Sit down, down, down, down, down
In sympathy
Oh, sit down, oh, sit down, oh, sit down
Sit down next to me
Sit down, down, down, down, down
In sympathy
