Hosea Andrew Peterson

[Verse 1]
Well every time I lay in the bed beside you
Hosea, Hosea
I hear the sound of the streets of the city
My belly growls like a hungry wolf
And I let it prowl 'till my belly's full
Hosea, my heart is a stone

[Verse 2]
So please believe me when I say I'm sorry
Hosea, Hosea
You loveable, gullible man
I tell you that my love is true
'Till it fades away like a morning dew
Hosea, just leave me alone

[Chorus]
Here I am in the Valley of Trouble
Just look at the bed that I've made
Badlands as far as I can see
Well, there's no one here but me
Hosea

[Verse 3]
Well I stumbled and fell in the road on the way home
Hosea, Hosea
I lay in the brick street like a stray dog
You came to me like a silver moon
With the saddest smile I ever knew
Hosea carried me home again
Home again
