1
They dragged Jack and his shadow
2
From the hole
3
And the bulb that burned above him
4
Did shine both day and night
5
And his shadow learned to love his
6
Little darks and greater light
7
And the sun it shined
8
And the sun it shined
9
And the sun it shined
10
A little longer
11
Jack wept and kissed his shadow
12
"Goodbye"
13
Spat from their dirty dungeons
14
Into a truly different din
15
Shat from their institutions
16
Into a fully different din
17
And his shadow soon became a wife
18
And children plagued his latter life
19
Until one night he took a skinning knife
20
And stole into the town
21
And tracked his shadow down
22
Said the shadow to Jack Henry
23
"What's wrong?"
24
Jack said "A home is not a hole"
25
"And shwdow, you're just a gallow that I hang my body from"
26
"O Shadow, your a shackle from wich my time is never done"
27
Then he peeled his shadow off in strips
28
He peeled his shadow off in strips
29
Then kneeled his shadow on some steps
30
And cried "What have I done?"
31
And the sun it shined
32
And the sun it shined
33
I say "Love is blind"
34
"And is it any wonder?!"
35
"And is it any wonder?!"
36
Jacked and his damned shadow
37
Is gone
38
And though each one of us are want to duly mourn
39
And though each one of us are want to duly mourn
40
'Tis done in brighter corners now
41
'Tis done in brighter corners now
42
Now that Jack's black shadow's gone
43
And the sun it shined
44
And the sun it shined
45
And the sun it shined
46
A little stronger
47
I swear, love is blind
48
Ooh, love is blind
49
Yeah, love is blind
50
And is it any wonder?
51
'Tis done in brighter corners now
52
'Tis done in brighter corners now
53
Now that Jack's black shadow's gone
54
