Kingdoms Of Rain

Mark Lanegan

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
