Lay Down Lyrics - Singles - Emiliana Torrini

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 ...
