Kingdoms of Rain

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'm hanging a cross on a nail

I hung one for you in there

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 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

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'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
