Lyrics Holy, Holy, Holy, Moses (Song For New Orleans) - Alec Ounsworth, Clap Your Hands Say Yeah

Holy, Holy, Holy, Moses (Song For New Orleans)

Holy, Holy, Holy Moses
Can’t you hear me, Holy Moses?
Good God, I said I’ve seen rain and fire
Lord God knows that I’ve seen rain and fire
Holy, Holy, Holy Moses
Don’t you feel me, Holy Moses?
I’m a stranger to my own homeland
Stranger, stranger to myself I am
Are you a stranger to me, too?
Don’t tell me…
La, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la
God spilled rain upon the water
And the car got sunk
And my ma got drunk
And my faith got shook
How can I claim New Orleans?
I’m just wishing that the sun shines
On my brother
Holy, Holy, Holy Moses
Don’t you fear me, Holy Moses?
I have put your portrait in the sand
High tide come and there I go again
