Melanie - (Lay Down) Candles In The Rain lyrics

rate me

Little sisters of the sun<br />

Lit candles in the rain<br />

Fed the world on oats and raisins<br />

Candles in the rain<br />

Lit the fire to the soul who never knew it's friend<br />

Meher Baba lives again<br />

Candles in the rain<br />

To be there was to remember<br />

So lay it down again<br />

Oh, lay it down<br />

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

Men can live as brothers<br />

Candles in the rain<br />

<br />

(copied exactly from the album liner notes)<br />

Chorus*<br />

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

Let your white birds smile up at the<br />

Ones who stand and frown<br />

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

Let your white birds smile up at the<br />

Ones who stand and frown*<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 />

Chorus<br />

So raise the candles high cause if you<br />

Don't we could stay black against the night<br />

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

Do we could stay dry against the rain<br />

Chrous<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 />

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

Some came to keep the dark away<br />

So raise the candles high<br />

Cause if you don't we could stay<br />

Black against the sky<br />

Oh oh raise them higher again<br />

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

Chorus
