Jacks Shadow Lyrics - Cave Nick

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
