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 menBefore I go, I'll hang in a cross on nails
I hung on for you in thereGirl lay your shame to rest
Hope lies close to your breast
You stoop to feed the crows
Some scraps of truth already coldBefore I go, I'll hang in a cross on nails
I hung on for you in there
And every kingdom of rain comes fallin' down
'Cause I loved you somewhat
'Cause I loved you somewhatWould you put halos in your hair
Without a hope, without a prayer
With lies close to your breast
You finally lay your shame to restBefore I go, I'll hang in a cross on nails
I hung on for you in there
And every kingdom of rain comes fallin' down
'Cause I loved you so long
'Cause I loved you so long
'Cause I loved you so long
