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

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

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

Love, in fear, in hate, in tears





Down

Down





Oh sit down

Sit down next to me

Sit down, down, down, down, down

In sympathy





Oh sit down

Sit down next to me

Sit down, down, down, down, down

In sympathy





Down
