Lay down lay down lay it all down

[Swede]

Some came to sing, some came to pray
Some came to keep the dark away

of the chorus? Could never understand them. I was maybe 13 when that song came out.

[On the Road]

7. ok, here's the whole thing

Lay down, lay down
AND DON'T FORGET THE EDWIN HAWKINS SINGERS!



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
Lay it all down,
Let your white bird smile up
While the world's spinning 'round.
