She was standing on the corner
with a suitcase in her hand
She held her head up high
but they couldn't hide the shame
I took my life 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
So don't say the things you think are true
That with someone else you knew
where I might find a Bible?
As he fumbled in his pocket
to return the money there
And he shook his head in wonder
and ran his fingers through his hair
And he wondered what had happened
Must have been another woman,
must have been another world
I took my life 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
So say the things you think are true
That with someone else you do
Don't you know you could be
Tell me, sir, do you know
Where I might find the Bible?
