Moses
Music and lyrics by Patty Griffin From the album Living With Ghosts
D Diamonds, roses, A I need Moses to cross this sea of lonliness, GD Part this red river of pain.
I don't necessarily buy any key to the future or happiness, AGD But I need a little place in the sun sometimes or I think I will die.
AGD And everywhere is somewhere and nowhere is near, AGD Everybody got somebody with their wine and their beer. AGD So, I'm just this tragic figure in the corner over here, AG With an empty apartment and a best friend who is a queer.
D Everytime I see him he smiles and he tells me how well he's walking these miles, A But I he never ever asks a single thing about me, G If I die, he'd hear about it eventually.
D Diamonds, roses, A I need Moses to cross this sea of lonliness, GD Part this red river of pain. AGD And everywhere is somewhere and nowhere is near, AGD Everybody got somebody with their wine and their beer. AGD So, I'm just this tragic figure in the corner over here, AG Go home to an empty apartment and call a best friend who is a queer.
D Diamonds, roses, A I need Moses to cross this sea of lonliness, GD Part this red river of pain.
