Holy Man Lyrics

Holy Man

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 enought 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?
