| Are those halos in your hair or diamonds shining there?
|
| Without a hope, without a prayer
|
| This rain beats down like death
|
| Turn your eyes to better men
|
| Before I go I’m hangin' a cross on a nail
|
| I hung one for you in there
|
| Girl, lay your shame to rest
|
| And hold the lies close to your breast
|
| You stoop to feed the crows
|
| Some scraps of truth already cold
|
| Before I go I’m hangin' a cross on a 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 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’m hangin' a cross on a 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 |
