Moses, lyric by Bette Midler

from the songs album unknown

diamonds...
Roses
I need...moses
To cross this sea of loneliness
Part this red river of pain
Ha! i don't neccessarily buy
Any key to the future or happiness
But i need a little place in the sun sometimes
Or i think i'll die
Everywhere is somewhere
And nowhere is near
Everybody 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
Everytime 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
Cause everywhere is somewhere
And nowhere is near
Everybody got somebody with their wine and their beer
But i'm just a tragic figure in the corner over here
With some bills and in the mailbox
And some checks that won't clear...
This year...
Do...do do
Do...do do
Do...do do
Do...do do
Cause everywhere is somewhere and nowhere is near
Everybody got somebody with their wine and their beer
But 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
