TRIBUNMANADO.COM - Sit Down Beside Me adalah lagu dari Patrick Watson yang dirilis pada 2015 dalam album Love Songs for Robots.

Lagu ini punya karakter yang sangat khas Patrick Watson: lembut, intim, dreamy, dan agak sendu.

Secara emosional, lagu ini terasa seperti permintaan sederhana kepada seseorang untuk tetap tinggal dan menemani kita.

Frasa sit down beside me terdengar seperti ajakan untuk mendekat, tetapi di baliknya ada kebutuhan akan kehadiran, kedekatan, dan rasa aman.

Berikut lirik lengkapnya:

Sit down beside me and stay awhile
Let our hearts do their parts
With wine and words to meet the hours
So the day never starts

'Cause that's what I want
That's what we need
'Cause that's who we are
'Cause that's what we need

Sit down beside me and stay awhile
I don't want to waste my time
Till we're old and grey
Till we've got nothing left to say

'Cause that's who we are
That's what we need
'Cause that's who we are
That's what we need

That's what we need
'Cause that's who we are
That's what we need

How long, lady love
You couldn't talk to me now

How long, lady love
You couldn't talk to me now
And stay awhile

How long, lady love
You couldn't talk to me now
And stay awhile

Sit down beside me and stay awhile
Till the night runs away
Till the morning rises and we part away
Till the end of our days
