Lay Down (candles In The Rain) Lyrics - Deconstruction - Meredith Brooks

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 others' wounds 

We all had caught the same disease 

And we all sang the songs of peace

Chorus: 

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 

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 you through my eyes 

You see we all in the same boat trying to float 

So everybody grab a oar we can make it to shore

Chorus 

We were so close there was no room 

We bled inside each others' 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 night 

So raise them higher again 

And if you do we could stay dry against the rain 

Chorus (repeat)
