  • I sing myself to sleep
    A song from the darkest hour
    Secrets I can't keep
    In sight 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)
    Oh sit down (sit down, sit down)
    Oh sit down (sit down)
    Sit down next to me
    Sit down, down (sit down, sit down)
    Down, down, down (sit down, sit 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
    And 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)
    Oh sit down (sit down, sit down)
    Oh sit down (sit down)
    Sit down next to me
    Sit down, down (sit down, sit down)
    Down, down, down (sit 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

    Down
    Down

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

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