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 pourin' 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 pourin' down 'Cause I loved you so long 'Cause I loved you so long
