Lyrics
Are those halos in your hair
Or diamonds shining there?
Without a hope
And 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
