I called to Madonna
To give me a line
She said boy what have you done
You've been passing your time with a holy man
Talking about the moon and sun
And I can't tell the difference
Between the fool and wise
Show me a river to follow
Away from all these liesCalled 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 had no answer
He didn't really hold the key
I am a simple man
Was all he said to meI've been on my own so long
Won't you lend me a hand
I've been out in the cold too long
Won't you understandI 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 enought sand to see
I am a holy man
So don't you bother meI've been on my own so long
Won't you lend me a hand
I've been out in the cold too long
Won't you understandI've been on my own so long
Won't you lend me a hand
I've been out in the cold too long
Won't you understand
