Lay Down (Candles in the Rain)

Lay down, lay down, lay it all down

Let your white birds smile

At the ones who stand and frownLay down, lay down, lay it all down

Let your white birds smile

At the ones who stand and frownWe were so close, there was no room

We bled inside each other's wounds

We all had caught the same disease

And we all sang the songs of peaceLay down, lay down, lay it all down

Let your white birds smile

At the ones who stand and frownLay down, lay down, lay it all down

Let your white birds smile

At the ones who stand and frownSo raise candles high

'Cause if you don't we could stay black against the night

Oh, raise them higher again

And if you do we could stay dry against the rainLay down, lay down, lay it all down

Let your white birds smile

At the ones who stand and frownLay down, lay down, lay it all down

Let your white birds smile

At the ones who stand and frownWe were so close, there was no room

We bled inside each other's wounds

We all had caught the same disease

And we all sang the songs of peaceSome came to sing, some came to pray

Some came to keep the dark awaySo raise candles high

'Cause if you don't we could stay black against the sky

Oh, oh, raise them higher again

And if you do we could stay dry against the rainLay down, lay down, lay it all down

Let your white birds smile

At the ones who stand and frownLay down, lay down, lay it all down

Let your white birds smile

At the ones who stand and frownLay down, lay down, lay it all down

Let your white birds smile

At the ones who stand and frownLay down, lay down, lay it all down

Let your white birds smile

At the ones who stand and frown
