Lyrics Mark Lanegan

Mark Lanegan

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 hangin' a cross on the nail

I hung one for you now

Girl lay your shame to rest

then 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 now

And every kingdom of rain comes pourin' 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

What lies close to your breast

then finally lay your shame to rest

Before I go I'm hangin' a cross on the nail

I hung one for you now

And every kingdom of rain comes pourin' down

Cause I loved you so long

cause I loved you so long

Cause I loved you so long
