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
