Kingdoms Of Rain lyrics

Song information

Artist: Mark Lanegan
Album: Whiskey For The Holy Ghost

Lyrics

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 in there

Girl lay your shame to rest
And hold the lies close to your breast
You stoop to feed the crows
Some scratch the truth already cold
Before I go I'm hangin' a cross on the nail
I hung one for you in there
And every kingdom of rain comes pourin' down
Cause I loved you so much
Cause I loved you so much

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 hangin' a cross on the nail
I hung one for you in there
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
