[Verse 1]
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
[Bridge]
Before I go, I'm hanging a cross on a nail
I hung one for you in there
[Verse 2]
Girl, lay your shame to rest
But hold the lies close to your breast
You stoop to feed the crows
Some scraps of truth already cold
[Chorus 1]
Before I go, I'm hanging 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
[Verse 3]
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
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
[Bridge]
Before I go, I'm hanging a cross on a nail
I hung one for you in there
[Verse 2]
Girl, lay your shame to rest
But hold the lies close to your breast
You stoop to feed the crows
Some scraps of truth already cold
[Chorus 1]
Before I go, I'm hanging 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
[Verse 3]
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
