Lay Down (Candles In The Rain)

In the style of

Melanie

The Edwin Hawkins Singers

Lyrics

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 other's wounds
we all had caught
the same disease
we all sang
the songs of peace

lay down lay down
lay it all down
let your white
birds smile up
at the ones
who stand and frown

so raise
the candles high
'cause if you don't
we could stay black
against the night

oh oh raise
them higher again
and if you do
we could stay
dry against the rain

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 other's wounds
we all had caught
the same disease
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 sky

oh oh raise
them higher again
and if you do
we could stay
dry against the rain

let your white
birds smile up
at the ones
who stand and frown
you've gotta
lay down lay down

lay it all down
let your white
birds smile up
at the ones
who stand and frown
you've gotta
lay down lay down

lay it all down
let your white
birds smile up
at the ones
who stand and frown
oh la la lay down
lay down

lay it all down
let your white
birds smile up
at the ones
who stand and frown
ooh
ooh ooh
ooh ooh ooh hoo
