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.

 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.
