Lay Down Lyrics - Mott The Hoople

We were so close, there was no room 

We bled inside each other's wounds 

We all caught the same disease 

We all sang our songs of peace 

Lay down, lay down, let it all down 

Let your bright face smile up at the ones who stand and frown 

Lay down, lay down, let it all down 

Let your bright face smile up at the ones who stand and frown 

Oh, raise the candles high 

'Cause if you don't we could stand black against the light 

Oh, raise them high again 

'Cause if you do we can stand dry against the rain 

Lay down, lay down, let it all down 

Let your bright face smile up at the ones who stand and frown 

Lay down, lay down, let it all down 

Let your bright face 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 caught the same disease 

We all sang our songs of peace 

Some came to sing, some came to pray 

Some came to keep the night away 

Oh, raise the candles high 

'Cause if you don't we could stand black against the light 

Oh, raise them high again 

'Cause if you do we can stand dry against the rain 

Lay down, lay down, let it all down 

Let your bright face smile up at the ones who stand and frown 

Lay down, lay down, let it all down 

Let your bright face smile up at the ones who stand and frown 

Lay down, lay down, let it all down 

Let your bright face smile up at the ones who stand and frown 

Lay down, lay down, let it all down 

Let your bright face smile up at the ones who stand and frown 

Lay down, lay down, let it all down 

Let your bright face smile up at the ones who stand and frown 

Lay down, lay down, let it all down 

Let your bright face smile up at the ones who stand and frown
