She was standing on a corner with her suitcase in her hand She held her head up high as she turned from a man Tears fell from her eyes but they couldn't hide the shame Sir I think you know me but just let me explain I took my light down from the door Sir I don't work here anymore Sir You're standing in the shadow of a lady From the life that I've been living Now freedom I've been given And you're standing in the shadow of a lady Don't say the things you think were true That was someone else you knew Don't you know you could be held for liable? Tell me Sir do you know where I might find a bible As he thumbed in his pocket to return his money there And he she's head in wonder and ran his fingers through his hair And he wondered what had happened to his red light pearl Must have been another woman must have been another world I took my light down from the door Sir I don't work here anymore Sir You're standing in the shadow of a lady From the life that I've been living Now freedom I've been given And you're standing in the shadow of a lady Don't say the things you think were true That was someone else you knew Don't you know you could be held for liable? Tell me Sir, do you know where I might find a bible?
