Sit Down

I'll sing myself to sleep
a song from the darkest hour
secrets I can't keep
inside of a 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.

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

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.

Down...
