Are those halos in your hair
Or diamonds shining there?
Without a hope, without a prayer
This rain beats down like death
You turn your eyes to better men
Before I go, I'm hanging a cross on a nail
I hung one for you in there
Girl, lay your shame to rest
But hold the lies close to your breast
You stoop to feed the crows
Some scraps of truth already cold
Before I go I'm hanging a cross on a nail
I hung one for you in there
In every kingdom a rain comes pouring down
'Cause I loved you so long
'Cause I loved you so long
Would you put halos in your hair?
Without a hope, without a prayer
With lies close to your breast
You finally lay your shame to rest
Before I go, I'm hanging a cross on a nail
I hung one for you in there
In every kingdom a rain comes pouring down
'Cause I loved you so long
'Cause I loved you so long
