[Verse 1]

I'll sing myself to sleep

A song from the darkest hour

Secrets I can't keep inside of the day

Swing from high to deep

Extremes of sweet and sour

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

[Chorus]

Oh, sit down, oh, sit down, oh, sit down

Sit down next to me

Sit down, down, down, down, down

In sympathy

[Verse 2]

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

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

[Chorus]

Oh, sit down, oh, sit down, oh, sit down

Sit down next to me

Sit down, down, down, down, down

In sympathy

[Bridge]

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

[Chorus]

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

Down
