Melanie With The Edwin Hawkins Singers Lay Down (Candles In The Rain) Lyrics

(CHORUS)
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 others wounds
We all had caught the same disease
And we all sang the songs of peace

(CHORUS)

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

(CHORUS)

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
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
(CHORUS)

You gotta
(CHORUS)

You gotta
(CHORUS).....
