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 'cos if you don't we can't stand black against the light Oh raise them high again 'cos 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 'cos if you don't we can't stand black against the light Oh raise them high again 'cos 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
