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 the nail
I hung one for you in there
Mmm

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 the nail
I hung one for you in there
Then every kingdom of rain comes pouring down
'Cause I loved you somewhat
Mmm
'Cause I loved you somewhat

Would you put halos in your hair
Without a hope,
Without a prayer?
With lies close to your breast
And finally lay your shame to rest

Before I go I'm hangin' 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
Mmm
'Cause I loved you so long
Mmm
