Lay Down (Candles In The Rain)
(Melanie Safka / Arr. by Ko-Do 2015)

12-String Rehearsal


6-String Rehearsal


Lay down, lay down, lay it all down
Let your white shirts shine upon the ones who wear brown
Lay down, lay down, lay it all down
Let your white shirts smile upon the ones who wear brown

We were so close, there was no room
We bled inside each others wounds
We all had caught the same desease
And we all sang the songs of peace

Lay down, lay down...

So raise the candles high
If you don't we could stay black against the night
So raise them higher again
If you do we could stay dry against the rain

Lay down, lay down...

We were so close, there was no room
We bled inside each others wounds
We all had caught the same desease
And we all sang the songs of peace
Some came to sing, some came to pray
Some came to keep the dark away

So raise the candles high
If you don't we could stay black against the night
So raise them higher again
If you do we could stay dry against the rain

Lay down, lay down...
