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
