Lay Down (Candles in the Rain)

Chorus:
Lay down, lay down, lay it all down
Let your white birds smile up
On the ones who stand and frown
Lay down, lay down, lay it all down
Let your white birds smile up
On the ones who stand and frown
We were so close there was no room
We bled inside each other's wounds
We all had cought the same disease
We all sang the song of peace
Chorus
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 through my eyes
You see we all in the same boat trying to float
So everybody grab a oar wecan make it to shore
Chorus
We were so close there was no room
We bled inside each other's wounds
We all had cought the same sisease
We all sang the song of peace
Some came to sing, some came to pray
Some came to keep the dark away
So raise the candles high
'Cuz if you don't we could stay black against the night
Oh raise them higher again and if you do
We could stay dry against the rain
Chorus ( 4x )
