Lay Down (Candles In The Rain) Lyrics by Meredith Brooks
Deconstruction
1999
[Chorus] Lay down lay down Lay it all down Let your white birds smile up On the ones who stand and frown Lay down lay down Lay it all down Let your white birds smile up On the ones who stand and frown [Verse 1: Meredith Brooks] We were so close there was no room We bled inside each others' wounds We all had caught the same disease And we all sang the songs of peace [Chorus: Meredith Brooks, (Queen Latifah)] Lay down lay down (Come on) Lay it all down Let your white birds smile up On the ones who stand and frown (Bring it on, bring it on) Lay down lay down (Yeah) Lay it all down Let your white birds smile up On the ones who stand and frown [Verse 2: Queen Latifah] What if I told you were stupid, destructive, soulless Callous, murderous, malignant, belligerent, ignorant Would you believe me would you like that Or would you prove me wrong and fight back I'd like to take the sunshine right from the sky And let it shine on you through my eyes You see we all in the same boat trying to float So everybody grab a oar, we can make it to shore [Chorus: Meredith Brooks] Lay down lay down Lay it all down Let your white birds smile up On the ones who stand and frown Lay down lay down Lay it all down Let your white birds smile up On the ones who stand and frown [Guitar Solo] [Reactions: Queen Latifah] Come on, come on [Bridge: Meredith Brooks, (Queen Latifah)] We were so close there was no room We bled inside each others' wounds We all had caught the same disease And we all sang the songs of peace (What you need, what you need) Some came to sing Some came to pray Some came to keep the dark away (What, baby?) (Raise it up, raise it up) So raise the candles high 'Cause if you don't we could stay Black against the night (Light it up) So raise them higher again And if you do we could stay dry against the rain [Chorus: Meredith Brooks, (Queen Latifah)] Lay down lay down Lay it all down Let your white birds smile up On the ones who stand and frown You got to lay down lay down Lay it all down Let your white birds smile up On the ones who stand and frown
