Meredith Brooks - Lay Down Lyrics
Lay down lay downLay it all downLet your white birds smile upAt the ones who stand and frownLay down lay downLay it all downLet your white birds smile upAt the ones who stand and frownWe were so close there was no roomWe bled inside each others' woundsWe all had caught the same diseaseAnd we all sang the songs of peaceChorus:Lay down lay downLay it all downLet your white birds smile upAt the ones who stand and frownLay down lay downLay it all downLet your white birds smile upAt the ones who stand and frownWhat if i told you were stupid, destructive, soullessCallous, murderous, malignant, belligerent, ignorantWould you believe me would you like thatOr would you prove me wrong and fight backI'd like to take the sunshine right from the skyAnd let it shine on you through my eyesYou see we all in the same boat trying to floatSo everybody grab a oar we can make it to shoreChorusWe were so close there was no roomWe bled inside each others' woundsWe all had caught the same diseaseAnd we all sang the songs of peaceSome came to singSome came to praySome came to keep the dark awaySo raise the candles high'cause if you don't we could stayBlack against the nightSo raise them higher againAnd if you do we could stay dry against the rainChorus (repeat)
