Lady Down - Melanie

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
