Oh, I have been wondering where I have been pondering
Where I've been lately is no concern of yours
Who's been touching my skin
Who have I been letting
Shy and tired-eyed am I today

Umm

I'm wounded by dust
All I have been wondering where I have been pondering
Where I've been lately is no concern of yours
Who's been touching my skin
Who have I been letting
Shy and tired-eyed am I today

Ooh, ooh, ooh

Sometimes I sit, sometimes I stare
Sometimes they look and sometimes I don't care
Rarely I weep, sometimes I must
I'm wounded by dust

When the bell toll, when the bell gon' chime
You better call for your woman up high
And when the bell tolls for your last day
You'll be getting down on your knees to pray
I'm a good woman and I never did say whatever it was that you did that day
I'm not a woman that is going to place claim, but you said that it was coming on judgement day

Now Sophia
I'm wounded by dust

When the bell toll, when the bell gon' chime
You better call for your woman up high
And when the bell tolls for your last day
You'll be getting down on your knees to pray
I'm a good woman and I never did say whatever it was that you did that day
I'm not a woman that is going to place claim, but you said that it was coming on judgement day

Now Sophia (Sophia)
I'm wounded by dust
Now Sophia

    I'm pretty sure that it's lines "shy and tired eyed am I today" not "tried and tired I am now today". Also the think the lines "Who's been touching my skin, who have I been letting, shy and tired eyed am I today" are about having a one night stand after a relationship is broken up to try get over her old lover. The fact that she's asking him questions, "Who's been touching me skin?", are almost as if she's trying to piss him off with the news that she has moved on.
