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