Patty Griffin - Moses Lyrics
Diamonds, roses,i need mosesTo cross this sea of loneliness, part this red river of painI dont necessarily buy any key to the future or happinessBut I need a little place in the sun sometimes or I think I will dieEverywhere is somewhere and nowhere is nearEverybody got somebody with their wine and their beerSo Im just this tragic figure in the corner over hereWith an empty apartment and a best friend who is queerEverytime I see him he smilesAnd he tells me how well hes walking these milesBut he never ever asks a single thing about meIf I die, hed hear about it eventuallyDiamonds, roses, I need mosesTo cross this sea of loneliness, part this red river of painEverywhere is somewhere and nowhere is nearEverybody got somebody with their wine and their beerSo Im 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 mosesTo cross this sea of loneliness, part this red river of painTo cross this sea of loneliness, part this red river of painTo cross this sea of loneliness, part this red river of pain
