Lay Down (Candles in the Rain) Lyrics

Lay down, lay down
Lay it all down
Let your white birds smile up
And the worms stand proud

Lay down, lay down
Lay it all down
Let your white birds smile up
And the worms stand proud

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
And the worms stand proud

Lay down, lay down
Lay it all down
Let your white birds smile up
And the worms stand proud

So raise the candles high
'Cause if you don′t we could stain 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
And the worms stand proud

Lay down, lay down
Lay it all down
Let your white birds smile up
And the worms stand proud

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 (ooh, ooh), some came to pray
Some came to keep (ooh, ooh) the dark away

So raise (raise) the candles high (up high)
'Cause if you don′t we could stain black against the sky
Oh, raise (raise) them higher again (up high)
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
And the worms stand proud

Lay down, lay down
Lay it all down
Let your white birds smile up
And the worms stand proud

Lay down, lay down
Lay it all down
Let your white birds smile up
And the worms stand proud (you gotta)

Lay down, lay down
Lay it all down
Let your white birds smile up
And the worms stand proud (you gotta)

Lay down, lay down
Lay it all down
Let your white birds smile up
And the worms stand proud (ooh)

Lay down, lay down
Lay it all down
Let your white birds smile up
And the worms stand proud

Lay down, lay down
Lay it all down
Let your white birds smile up
And the worms stand proud

Lay down, lay down
Lay it all down
Let your white birds smile up
And the worms stand proud

Do, do, do-do, do, do, do, do
Do, do, do-do, do, do, do, do
Do, do, do-do, do, do, do, do
Do, do, do-do, do, do, do, do

Do, do, do-do, do, do, do, do
Do, do, do-do, do, do, do, do
Do, do, do-do, do, do, do, do
Do, do, do-do, do, do, do, do

Lay it all down (oh, ooh)
Let your white birds smile up (oh, ooh)
And the worms stand proud (oh, ooh)
