Lyric Lay Down

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 other s wounds
       we all had caught - the same disease
       we all sang - the songs of peace

              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

       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


              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 other s wounds
       we all had caught - the same disease
       we all sang - the songs of peace

              Some came to sing
              some came to pray
              Some came to keep
              the dark away

              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

       oh raise them high 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
              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

              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
