Lay Down [Candles in the Rain] lyrics

Lay down lay down, let it all down

Let your white birds smile up at the

Ones who stand and frown

Lay down lay down, let 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

So raise the 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 rain

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 sky

Oh oh raise them higher again

And if you do we could stay dry against the rain
