[Verse 1]
She was standing on the corner with a 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

[Chorus]
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
So, don't say the things you think are true
That was someone еlse you knew
Don't you know you could be hеld for liable?
Tell me, sir, do you know where I might find a bible?

[Verse 2]
As he thumbled in his pocket to return the money there
And he shook 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

[Chorus]
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
So, don't say the things you think are 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?
