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



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 bound in the strangest spaces

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, in fear, in hate, in tears

In love, in fear, in hate, in tears

In love, in fear, in hate, in tears

In love, in fear, in hate



Oh sit down

Oh sit down

Oh sit down

Sit down next to me

Sit down, down, down, down

In sympathy



Sit down

Sit down (x4)

Sit down

Sit down next to me
