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 fallin' 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 fallin' down   'Cause I loved you so long   'Cause I loved you so long   'Cause I loved you so long
