Emiliana Torrini Lay Down Lyrics

Lay Down Lyrics

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 ...
