Cave Nick Jack`s Shadow Lyrics

Jack`s Shadow Lyrics

They dragged Jack and his shadow

 From the hole

 And the bulb that burned above him

 Did shine both day and night

 And his shadow learned to love his

 Little darks and greater light

 And the sun it shined

 And the sun it shined

 And the sun it shined

 A little longer 

 

 Jack wept and kissed his shadow

 "Goodbye"

 Spat from their dirty dungeons

 Into a truly different din

 Shat from their institutions

 Into a fully different din

 And his shadow soon became a wife

 And children plagued his latter life

 Until one night he took a skinning knife

 And stole into the town

 And tracked his shadow down 

 

 Said the shadow to Jack Henry

 "What's wrong?"

 Jack said "A home is not a hole"

 "And shwdow, you're just a gallow that I hang my body from"

 "O Shadow, your a shackle from wich my time is never done"

 Then he peeled his shadow off in strips

 He peeled his shadow off in strips

 Then kneeled his shadow on some steps

 And cried "What have I done?" 

 

 And the sun it shined

 And the sun it shined

 I say "Love is blind"

 "And is it any wonder?!"

 "And is it any wonder?!" 

 

 Jacked and his damned shadow

 Is gone

 And though each one of us are want to duly mourn

 And though each one of us are want to duly mourn

 'Tis done in brighter corners now

 'Tis done in brighter corners now

 Now that Jack's black shadow's gone 

 

 And the sun it shined

 And the sun it shined 

 

 And the sun it shined

 A little stronger 

 

 I swear, love is blind

 Ooh, love is blind

 Yeah, love is blind

 And is it any wonder? 

 

 'Tis done in brighter corners now

 'Tis done in brighter corners now

 Now that Jack's black shadow's gone
