Holy Man

Called to Madonna
To give me a line
She said, Boy what have you done
Passing your time with a holy man
Talking of the moon and sun
But I can't tell the difference
Between the fool and wise
Show me a river to follow
Away from all these lies...
I've been on my own so long
Won't you lend me your hand
I've been pickin' up my bones too long
Won't you understand
Called to the Captain
To put me ashore
For it looked like no man's land
Is this the way to follow
I cried as I shook his hand
He told me he had no answer
He didn't really hold the key
I am a simple man
Was all he said to me
I've been on my own so long
Won't you lend me your hand
I've been pickin' up my bones too long
Won't you understand
I've been on my own so long
Won't you lend me your hand
I've been pickin' up my bones too long
Won't you understand
