Moses Lyrics - Bette - Bette Midler

Diamonds, roses, I need Moses 

To cross this sea of loneliness, part this red river of pain 

I don't necessarily buy any key to the future or happiness 

But I need a little place in the sun sometimes or I think I'll die 

And everywhere is somewhere but nowhere is near 

Everybody's got somebody with their wine and their beer 

But I'm a tragic figure in the corner over here 

With an empty apartment and a best friend who is queer 

Every time I see him he smiles 

And tells me how well he's walking these miles 

But he never ever asks a single thing about me 

If I died he'd hear about it eventually 

Diamonds, roses, I need Moses 

To cross this sea of loneliness 

Part this red river of pain, oh 

'Cause everywhere is somewhere and nowhere is near 

Everybody's got somebody with their wine and their beer 

And I'm a tragic figure in the corner over here 

With my bills in the mailbox and some checks that won't clear this year 

Everywhere is somewhere and nowhere is near 

Everybody's got somebody with their wine and their beer 

So I'm just a tragic figure in the corner over here 

Who'll sleep it off 'til morning and still not know that we're 

We're all just diamonds and roses, I need Moses 

To cross this sea of loneliness, part this red river of pain 

To cross this sea of loneliness, part this red river of pain 

To cross this sea of loneliness, part this red river of pain
