Lay Down (Candles In The Rain) - Live 1988

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

Lay down, lay down

Lay down

Let your white bird smile up

At the ones who stand and frown

You gotta lay down, lay down

Lay down

Let your white bird 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 down

Let your white bird smile up

At the ones who stand and frown

You gotta lay down, lay down

Lay down

Let your white bird smile up

At the ones who stand and frown

Little sisters of the sun lit candles in the rain

Fed the world on oats and raisins, candles in the rain

And they lit a fire to the soul who never knew he had a friend

Oh, men can live as brothers, I heard them say, candles in the rain

To be there was to remember so I'm gonna lay it down again

I'm gonna lay it down one more time

Lay it down, lay it down again

I think that men can live as brothers, candles in the rain

You gotta lay down, lay down

Lay down

Let your white bird smile up

At the ones who stand and frown

You gotta lay down, lay down

Lay down

Let your white bird smile up

At the ones who stand and frown
