Lay Down Lyrics

Lay Down lyrics

Lay down lay down
Lay it all down
Let your white birds smile up
On the
ones who stand and frown
Lay down lay down
Lay it all down
Let your
white birds smile up
On 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

chorus

What if I
told you were stupid destructive soulless
callous, murderous, malignant,
belligerent, ignorant
Would you believe me would you like that
Or would
you prove me wrong and fight back
I'd like to take the sunshine right from
the sky
And let it shine on you through my eyes
You see we all in the
same boat trying to float
So everybody grab a oar we can make it to
shore

chorus

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
So raise the candles high
'Cuz 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
