Candles In The Rain Lyrics - Candles In The Rain/leftover Wine - Melanie

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 other's 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. 

So raise the candles high 

'Cause 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. 

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 other's 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 sky, oh 

Oh, raise them higher again 

And if you do we could stay dry against the rain. 

Lay down, lay down, lay it all down 

Let your white birds smile up 

At the ones who stand and frown, you gotta 

Lay down, lay down, lay it all down 

Let your white birds smile up 

At the ones who stand and frown, you gotta 

Lay down, lay down, lay it all down 

Let your white birds smile up 

At the ones who stand and frown 

Oh 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.
