Moses Lyrics - Living With Ghosts - Patty Griffin

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 will die 

But everywhere is somewhere and nowhere is near 

Everybody got somebody with their wine and their beer 

So I'm just this 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 is walking these miles 

But he never, ever asks a single thing about me 

If I die he'd hear about it eventually 

Diamonds, roses I need Moses 

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

Everywhere is somewhere and nowhere is near

Go home to an empty apartment and call a best friend who is queer 

Diamonds, 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
