Sit Down

Gavan Whelan / James / Jim Glennie / Larry Gott / Tim Booth

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 (sit down), down (sit down), down (sit down), down (sit down)
In sympathy

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 (sit down), down (sit down), down (sit down), down (sit 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, in tears

Down
Down

Oh sit down
Sit down next to me
Sit down, down (sit down), down (sit down), down (sit down), down (sit down)
In sympathy

Oh sit down
Sit down next to me
Sit down, down (sit down), down (sit down), down (sit down), down (sit down)
In sympathy

Down
