Meredith Brooks - Lay Down (Candles In The Rain) lyrics

rate me

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

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

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
