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
