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'll hang in a cross on nails I hung on for you in there
Girl lay your shame to rest Hope lies close to your breast You stoop to feed the crows Some scraps of truth already cold Before 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 somewhat
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'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
