Holy Man (2023 Remix) Lyrics by Whitesnake

The Purple Album: Special Gold Edition

2015

[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 wise
Show me a river to follow away from all these lies

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 he had no answer, he didn't really hold the key
I am a simple man—was all he said to me?

[Chorus]
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

[Verse]
I heard my mother crying
She was calling out my name
I 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

[Chorus]
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
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

[Outro Instrumental]
[Lead: Reb & Joel]
