Melanie - Candles In The Rain lyrics

rate me

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

Let your white birds smile up<br />

At the ones who stand and frown<br />

Lay down, lay 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 other's wounds<br />

We all had caught the same disease<br />

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

<br />

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

Let your white birds smile up<br />

At the ones who stand and frown<br />

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

Let your white birds smile up<br />

At the ones who stand and frown.<br />

<br />

So raise the candles high<br />

'Cause if you don't we could stay black against the night<br />

Oh raise them higher again<br />

And if you do we could stay dry against the rain.<br />

<br />

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

Let your white birds smile up<br />

At the ones who stand and frown<br />

Lay down, lay 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 other's wounds<br />

We all had caught the same disease<br />

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

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

Some came to keep, the dark away<br />

<br />

So raise the candles high<br />

'Cause if you don't we could stay black against the sky, oh<br />

Oh, raise them higher again<br />

And if you do we could stay dry against the rain.<br />

<br />

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

Let your white birds smile up<br />

At the ones who stand and frown, you gotta<br />

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

Let your white birds smile up<br />

At the ones who stand and frown, you gotta<br />

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

Let your white birds smile up<br />

At the ones who stand and frown<br />

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

Let your white birds smile up<br />

At the ones who stand and frown<br />

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

Let your white birds smile up<br />

At the ones who stand and frown.<br />
