Lyrics Melissa Ferrick

Melissa Ferrick

Moses

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

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 call my best friend who's queer

Everytime I see him he smiles

And he tells me how well he's 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

Everybody got somebody with their wine and their beer

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

Go home to an empty apartment

And call my best friend who's a 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
