Lay Down (Candles In The Rain) - Melanie Lay Down (Candles in the Rain) Melanie with The Edwin Hawkins Singers 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.
