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
