Lay Down Lyrics

Melanie Safka

Refrain:
Lay down, lay it down, lay it all down
Let your white birds smile up
At the ones who stand and frown
Lay down, lay it 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

Refrain
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

Refrain
We were so close, there was no room...
Some came to sing, some came to pray
Some came to keep the dark away
So raise the candles high...black against the sky...

Refrain (until end)
