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 found in the strangest cases Feels a lot like love That I feel for you 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 Swing from high to deep Extremes of sweet and sour Hope that God exists I hope I pray 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 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 Sit down, sit down, sit down, sit down Sit down next to me
