Lay Our Flowers Down Lady A

[Verse 1]
Candle wax, like a river on the concrete
Fears will fly if you let them
Patterned-leather dress, shoes on a baby's feet
Is he too young to tell him

[Chorus]
People come and gather round
Only love can lift us now
We find our common thread
Over tear-stained ground
Raise our voices up, lay our flowers down

[Verse 2]
White knuckles, cotton beads on a rosary
Hoping one has an answer
You hung it on the mirror only as a novelty
But now you squeeze it 'til your hands hurt

[Chorus]
People come and gather round
Only love can lift us now
We find our common thread
Over tear-stained ground
Raise our voices up, lay our flowers down
Oh, lay 'em down
