Melanie Safka - Lay Down lyrics

rate me

Refrain:<br />

Lay down, lay it down, lay it all down<br />

Let your white birds smile up<br />

At the ones who stand and frown<br />

Lay down, lay it down, lay it all down<br />

Let your white birds smile up<br />

At the ones who stand and frown<br />

<br />

We were so close, there was no room<br />

We bled inside each others wounds<br />

We all had caught the same disease<br />

And we all sang the songs of peace<br />

<br />

Refrain<br />

<br />

So raise the candles high, 'cause if you don't<br />

We could stay black against the night<br />

Oh raise them higher again and if you do<br />

We could stay dry against the rain<br />

<br />

Refrain<br />

<br />

We were so close, there was no room...<br />

<br />

Some came to sing, some came to pray<br />

Some came to keep the dark away<br />

<br />

So raise the candles high...black against the sky...<br />

<br />

Refrain (until end)<br />
