Lay Down

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 others wounds

We all had caught the same disease

And we all sang the songs of peace

Lay down, lay down, lay it all down

…..

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

…..

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

Some came to sing, some came to pray

Some came to keep the dark away

So, raise the candles high (Up high)

'Cause if you don't, we could stay black against the sky

Oh, oh, raise, raise them higher again, up high

And if you do we could stay dry against the rain

Lay down, lay down, lay it all down

What Have They Done To My Song Ma

Look what they've done to my song, ma
Look what they've done to my song
Well, it's the only thing that I could do half right
And it's turning out all wrong, ma
Look what they've done to my song

Look what they've done to my brain, ma
Look what they've done to my brain
Well, they picked it like a chicken bone
And I think I'm half insane, ma
Look what they've done to my song

Wish I could find a good book to live in
Wish I could find a good book
Well, if I could find a real good book
I'd never have to come out and look at
What they 've done to my song

But maybe it'll all be alright, ma
Maybe it'll all be okay
Well, if the people are buying tears
I'll be rich someday, ma
Look what they've done to my song

Ils ont changé ma chanson, ma
Ils ont changé ma chanson
C'est la seule chose que je peux faire
Et ce n'est pas bon, ma
Ils ont changé ma chanson

Look what they've done to my song, ma
Look what they've done to my song, ma
Well, they tied it up in a plastic bag
And turned it upside down, ma
Look what they've done to my song

Ils ont changé ma chanson, ma
Ils ont changé ma chanson
C'est la seule chose que je peux faire
Et ce n'est pas bon, ma
Ils ont changé ma chanson

Look what they've done to my song, ma
Ma, look what they've done to my song
It's the only thing I could do alright
And they turned it upside down, oh ma
Look what they've done to my song
