Moses lyrics
by Patty Griffin



Diamonds, roses,I need Moses to cross this sea of Loneliness,Part this red river of PainI don't necessarily buy any key to the future or happiness,But I need a little place in the sun sometimesOr I think I will dieEverywhere is SomewhereAnd Nowhere is nearEverybody got Somebody with their wine and their beerSo I'm just this tragic figure in the corner over hereWith an empty apartment and a best friend who is queerEverytime I see him he smiles and he tells me how well he's walking thesemilesBut he never ever asks a single thing about meIf I die, he'd hear about it eventuallyDiamonds, roses,I need Moses to cross this sea of LonelinessPart this red river of PainEverywhere is Somewhere And Nowhere is nearEverybody got Somebody with their wine and their beerSo I'm just this tragic figure in the corner over hereGo home to an empty apartment and call a best friend who is a queerDiamonds, roses,I need Moses to cross this sea of Loneliness,Part this red river of Pain
