Josh Ritter - Young Moses lyrics

Lay down, young Moses, child
Your wandering star a while
Hang your heart on a quiet soul and
Stay a while in the house of gold
Each room has many mansions
Each mansion many rooms
You'll sleep on sheets of silver
You'll eat on plates of moon

I will take up white linen
I will a' roving go
I do not need your mansions
I will live in a house of soul
Bring me my Florida Water
Set me my serpent free
Hang ye no stars above me
I am bound for Expidite!

And all the love they're gonna give me
(All the love, all the love, all the love)
They're gonna be my family now
Y'all can keep your thrones

I've been up on the mountain
I've been to the end of the line
I've pierced the fiery curtain
And the only face I touched was mine

I'll burn me through Ohio
I'll find the Appleseed
Who lives on lightning bugs
His mouth'll glow when he begins to preach
I'll burn me through the handle
I'll drink the cactus truths
Appear to peyoteras
Hills the color of conqueror root

I got my heavy working
I hung your capstone, too
I'm the king of the milk maids, honey
Say my name you know it's true
I got my heavy working
I like my lightning sweet
I've been a beast of burden
That is to say I am a beast
