| 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
|
| And 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
|
| 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 the candles high
|
| 'Cause if you don’t we could stay black against the sky
|
| 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
|
| Lay down, lay down
|
| Lay it all down
|
| Let your white birds smile up
|
| At the ones who stand and frown
|
| You got to lay down, lay down
|
| Lay it all down
|
| Let your white birds smile up
|
| At the ones who stand and frown
|
| You got to lay down, lay down
|
| Lay it all down
|
| Let your white birds smile up
|
| At the ones who stand and frown
|
| Oh, 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 |
