Lay Down (Candles In The Rain) Lyrics

Lay down lay down

 Lay it all down

 Let your white birds smile up

 At the ones who stand and frown

 Lay down lay down

 Lay it all down

 Let your white birds smile up

 At the ones who stand and frown

 

 We were so close there was no room

 We bled inside each others' wounds

 We all had caught the same disease

 And we all sang the songs of peace

 

 [Chorus:]

 Lay down lay down

 Lay it all down

 Let your white birds smile up

 At the ones who stand and frown

 Lay down lay down

 Lay it all down

 Let your white birds smile up

 At the ones who stand and frown

 

 What if I told you were stupid, destructive, soulless

 Callous, murderous, malignant, belligerent, ignorant

 Would you believe me would you like that

 Or would you prove me wrong and fight back

 I'd like to take the sunshine right from the sky

 And let it shine on you through my eyes

 You see we all in the same boat trying to float

 So everybody grab a oar we can make it to shore

 

 [Chorus]

 

 We were so close there was no room

 We bled inside each others' wounds

 We all had caught the same disease

 And we all sang the songs of peace

 

 Some came to sing

 Some came to pray

 Some came to keep the dark away

 So raise the candles high

 'Cause if you don't we could stay

 Black against the night

 So raise them higher again

 And if you do we could stay dry against the rain

 

 [Chorus (repeat)]
