Album • 1974
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?

You're sweeter than the morning When the sun is shining down on me There is nothing you can say That could make me go away you see But you keep saying to me baby Hold on - I feel I'm getting ready Hold on - I feel I'm rockin' steady Hold on - I'm gonna make it with you woman Hold on - You got to gimme some love, gimme some love I held back before But your love took me easily You got the power I knew was gonna creep up on me The more I give Your love keeps comin' on strong Although it's mine now I know it won't be for long There's something in the saying That a woman needs a little more time I'm getting tired of waiting for you Giving me some kind of sign Hold on - I've got to love you when I want to Hold on - You've got to love me when I want you to Hold on - I ain't gonna let you leave me baby Hold on - No never no more I know the game you're playing And I guess you think I'm easily led You think the words you're saying Are really going through my head I'm gonna take you home And give you all I can I'll prove to you, baby That really I'm a man Hold on - I know I'm feeling ready Hold on - I know I'm rockin' steady Hold on - Guess I've made it with you woman Hold on - I've got you giving me love Something that you give me Keeps me hangin' on No use me stayin' There's nothing to be done I'm gonna take you home And give you all I can I'll prove to you woman That really I'm a man Hold on - I only want to take you higher Hold on - You are the root of my desire Hold on - C'mon baby light my fire Hold on

Tell me gypsy can you see me In your crystal ball I'm asking you what can I do My back's against the wall And I can't hold on much longer So I've come to you my friend For now my life seems at an end I came to see you once before One hundred years ago You took my hand and broke the spell That should have let me go But my years have gone so slowly So I'm here again my friend For now my life is at an end
