Song by the band James from their eponymous album. Not really sad, more sympathetic in a pathos sort of way. And let's face it, we've all been there.
I sing myself to sleep
A song from the darkest hour
Secrets I can't keep
Insight 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 can 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-off places
It's hard to carry on
When you feel all along
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
In love, in fear, in hate, in tears
In love, in fear, in hate
Down
Down
Oh sit down, oh sit down, oh sit down,
Sit down next to me
Sit down, down, down, down, down
In sympathy
Down
