From links to the past and present ones provided by CDNOW.com to
Meredith Brooks web sites, a new face to me but and old sound.
Her new video was reviewed on TV and I recall this song, but still
must ponder when and where.

A link to an angelfire website, what else?, that has the list
of titles on her new album; something CDNOW.com couldn't tell me.



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

Chorus:
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
So raise them higher again
And if do you we could stay dry against the rain

Chorus

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

Some came to sing
Some came to pray
Some came to keep the dark away
So raise the candles high
'Cause if you don't we could stay
Black against the night
So raise them higher again
And if you do we could stay dry against the rain

Chorus

Lay down lay down
Lay it all down
Let your white birds smile up
At the ones who stand and frown
You got to lay down lay down
Lay it all down
Let your white birds smile up
At the ones who stand and frown
