This is a cover of Lay Down (Candles In The Rain) by Melanie Safka. The original was released the year prior in 1970 and reached number six on Billboard’s Hot 100 and number three on the Cash Box Top 100.
We were so close, there was no room
We bled inside each other's wounds
And we all caught the same disease
And we all sang our songs of peace
Lay down, lay down, let it all down
Let your white birds smile up at the ones who stand and frown
Lay down, lay down, let it all down
Let your white birds smile up at the ones who stand and frown
Oh raise the candles high
'Cause if you don't, we can't 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 white birds smile up at the ones who stand and frown
Lay down, lay down, let 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 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 can't 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 white birds smile up at the ones who stand and frown
Lay down, lay down, let it all down
Let your white birds smile up at the ones who stand and frown
Lay down, lay down, let it all down
Let your white bird smile up at the ones who stand and frown
Lay down, lay down, let it all down
Let your white birds smile up at the ones who stand and frown
Lay Down was written by Melanie.
Lay Down was produced by Mott The Hoople & Guy Stevens.
