[Verse 1]
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 of the moon and sun"
I can't tell the difference
Between the fool and the wise
Show me a river to follow
Away from all these lies
[Verse 2]
I 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
[Chorus]
I'vе been on my own so long, won't you lend me your hand?
I've been out in thе cold too long, won't you understand?
[Verse 3]
I heard my mother crying
She was calling out my name
A whisper in the dark night
Saying "Who's to blame?"
The hourglass keeps turning
With not enough sand to see
I am a holy man
So don't you bother me
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 of the moon and sun"
I can't tell the difference
Between the fool and the wise
Show me a river to follow
Away from all these lies
[Verse 2]
I 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
[Chorus]
I'vе been on my own so long, won't you lend me your hand?
I've been out in thе cold too long, won't you understand?
[Verse 3]
I heard my mother crying
She was calling out my name
A whisper in the dark night
Saying "Who's to blame?"
The hourglass keeps turning
With not enough sand to see
I am a holy man
So don't you bother me
