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
