Lay Down (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 

At the ones who stand and frown 

Lay down, lay down, lay it all down 

Let your white birds smile 

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 

At the ones who stand and frown 

Lay down, lay down, lay it all down 

Let your white birds smile 

At the ones who stand and frown 

So raise 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 

At the ones who stand and frown 

Lay down, lay down, lay it all down 

Let your white birds smile 

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 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 

At the ones who stand and frown 

Lay down, lay down, lay it all down 

Let your white birds smile 

At the ones who stand and frown 

Lay down, lay down, lay it all down 

Let your white birds smile 

At the ones who stand and frown 

Lay down, lay down, lay it all down 

Let your white birds smile 

At the ones who stand and frown
