Lay down, lay down

Lay it all down,

Let your white bird smile up

While the world spins 'round.

Lay down, lay down

Lay it all down,

Let your white bird smile up

While the world's spinning 'round.

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 bird smile up

While the world spins 'round.

Lay down, lay down

Lay it all down,

Let your white bird smile up

While the world's spinning 'round.

So raise your candles high,

Oh, did you know we cound save 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 bird smile up

While the world spins 'round.

Lay down, lay down

Lay it all down,

Let your white bird smile up

While the world's spinning 'round.

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.

So raise your candles high,

Oh, did you know we cound save 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 bird smile up

While the world spins around.

Lay down, lay down

Lay it all down,

Let your white bird smile up

While the world's spinning 'round.

Lay down, lay down

Lay it all down,

Let your white bird smile up

While the world spins around.

Lay down, lay down-acapo
