歌曲歌詞
I lead a rich rewarding life
a wife a home a car
But generally
you can find me
down in some dim lit bar
I hold all the treasures of the world
this fact I can't deny
But I'm living yes I'm living
in the shadow of a lie
My wife's first husband and myself
were on a fishin' trip
He was in our rowboat me on shore
when I saw my partner slip
A hellish thing took call of me
and I delayed my rescue dash
Still I knew my lover husband
had finally breathed his last
I took his body back to town
and restrained a happy smile
When they said there'd be a hearing
wouldn't even be a trial
That a fine upstanding citizen
like me could do no wrong
And the walls between me and my love
would finally to be gone
Now just when my world glows brightest
and warm thoughts run through my head
A chilling darkness hovers
like a demon over head
And sometimes the guilt inside me
reigns so strong I hope to die
For I'm living is it living
in the shadow of a lie
