H ave you seen your mother, baby, standing in the shadow
H ave you had another, baby, standing in the shadow?
I'm glad I opened your eyes
The have-nots have tr ied to free ze y ou in ice
H ave you seen your brother, baby, standing in the shadow
H ave you had another baby, standing in the shadow
I was just passing the time
I'm all alone, won't you gi ve all your sym pathy to mine
T ell me a story about how you adore me
L ive in the shadow, see through the shadow,
L ive through the shadow, tear at the shadow
H ate in the shadow, and love in your shadowy life
H ave you seen your lover, baby, standing in the shadow
H as he had another baby, standing in the shadow
Baby, where have you been all your life
Talking about all the peo ple who should t ry a nything twice
H ave you seen your mother, baby, standing in the shadow
H ave you had another baby, standing in the shadow
You take your choice at this time
The brave old world or the sl ide to the de pths of decline
