Called to Madonna To give me a line She said boy what have you done
Passing your time with a holy man Talking about 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 picking 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 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 a 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 out in the cold 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
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 out in the cold too long Won´t you understand?
