VIDEO: CANDLES IN THE RAIN: MELANIE

Here is another old song that is even truer now than it was back then. So few  of us saw past the drugs and the dancing and actually locked on to the words.

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.
