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 
Etcetera Etcetera
