Lay Down (Candles in the Rain) <br />

Melanie with The Edwin Hawkins Singers <br />

<br />

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

Let your white birds smile <br />

At the ones who stand and frown <br />

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

Let your white birds smile <br />

At the ones who stand and frown <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 />

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

Let your white birds smile <br />

At the ones who stand and frown <br />

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

Let your white birds smile <br />

At the ones who stand and frown <br />

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

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 />

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

Let your white birds smile <br />

At the ones who stand and frown <br />

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

Let your white birds smile <br />

At the ones who stand and frown <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 />

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

We could stay black against the sky <br />

Oh oh raise them higher again <br />

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

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

Let your white birds smile <br />

At the ones who stand and frown <br />

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

Let your white birds smile <br />

At the ones who stand and frown <br />

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

Let your white birds smile <br />

At the ones who stand and frown <br />

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

Let your white birds smile <br />

At the ones who stand and frown.
