Called to Madonna
To give me a line
She said
Boy what have you done?
Passing your time
With the 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
A world from
All these lies

I've been on my own so long
Won't you lend me your hand?
I've been picking up my bones
Too long
Won't you understand?

Call to the captain
to put me ashore
For it looked like no man's land
Is it the way to follow
I cried
As ishook his hand
He told me he had no answer
He didn't really hold the key
I am a single man
Was all he said to me

I've been on my own too long
Won't you lend me your hand?
I've been out in the cold too long
Won't you understand

I've been on the road so long
Won't you lend me your hand?
I've been picking up my bones
Too long
Won't you understand

Heard my mother crying
She was calling out my name
Whisper in the dark night
Saying who's to blame
The hour glass keeps turning
With not enough sand to see
I am a Holy Man
So don't you bother me
