Lay Down (Candles In The Rain) - Melanie

Is there a god? Is he watching? Is she watching? Are they watching now? If not, what are we doing? Where are we going? What are we doing now? Look at all these people Searching for a reason Searching for a piece of mind Hey, say we're all created equal That's what they teach us But that ain't how we treat each other (no) Nah, that ain't how we treat each other Shit, the truth is that we need each other, yeah Diamond in the back, babies on crack Kickin' the door, wavin the four-four White collar war crime, money gets spent Candles in the sun, blowin' in the wind Sun goes down, heroes often get shot Peace is long been forgot Oh, will it be too late when we find out? Yeah, we're all that we got Take a look around now, yeah Just take a look around Business and governments just, watch as the innocent fade Mindless bureaucracy fails, hindering government aid Aren't you appalled? What are we doing? Where are we going? What are we doing? Diamond in the back, babies on crack Kickin' the door, wavin the four-four White collar war crime, money gets spent Candles in the sun, blowin' in the wind Sun goes down, heroes often get shot Peace is long been forgot Oh, will it be too late when we find out? Yeah We're all that we got Look around Just take a look around, yeah Look around We're all that we got Oh May we all live long And may we all be brave And the bridges we burn Only light our way May we all be strong And we all be brave And the bridges we burn Only light our way, yeah May we all live long May we all be brave And the bridges we burn Only light our way May we all live long And we all be brave And the bridges we burn Just be the bridges we burn We're all that we got Oh, we're all that we got Look around now We're all that we got Hey, yeah, yeah Is there a god? Is he watching? Is she watching? Are they watching now? Is there a God? I'm sure he's watching What are we doing? Where are we going, now? Take a look around now Ooh-ooh-ooh We're all that we got

Let me wander north to the ho-omestead Way out further on there to roam By a gully in flood, let me linger When the summery sunshine has flown Where the logs tangle up on the creek beds And clouds fill the old northern sky And the cattle move back from the lowlands When the rain tumbles down in July The settlers with sad hearts are watching The rise of the stream from the dawn Their best crops are always in flood reach If it rises much more they'll be gone The cattle string out along the fences The wind from the south races by And the limbs from the old gums are fallen When the rain tumbles down in July The sleeping gums on the hillside Awaken to herds strayin' by Here on the flats where the fences have vanished As the storm clouds gather on high The wheels of the wagons stop turning The stock horse is turned out to stray The old station dogs are a-dozin' On the husks in the barn through the day The drover draws rein by the river And it's years since he's seen it so high Yes and that's just a story of homeward When the rain tumbles down in July

Sing to me sweetley as I turn sour Lay me down, remembering That the wind and the rain Played a part in that dreadful hour And so as I pass, I too feel the power Laying here under the trees Where three days before I danced in a summer shower Chorus: And she said "There, look through the trees, The sun always shines, always on time, Dare, rest on your knees And in a prayer, follow me there." Softly I slumber as I turn to powder Blowing out over the sea The wind and the rain billow me Though I'm no longer fire A bird is alone as the wind takes me higher Now I don't know where I am The bird can't hear me As I shout out even louder (Repeat chorus) La la la la... (Repeat chorus)

And I don't mind Cause I speak my mind sometimes And I think it's time for me to try To lay the blame where blame lies I've been searching for whoever made me feel this way I'm not liking where it's leading or who it's leading too 'Cause it's you 'Cause it's you 'Cause it's you 'Cause it's you And so I said I would speak the truth But I didn't think it would be to you I guess I'm sorry I have to lay you down But no one gets to push me around. I've been searching for whoever made me feel this way I'm not liking where it's leading or who it's leading too 'Cause it's you 'Cause it's you 'Cause it's you 'Cause it's you 'Cause it's you [Repeat]
