Jack's Shadow
4
They dragged Jack and his shadow
5
From the hole
6
And the bulb that burned above him
7
Did shine both day and night
8
And his shadow learned to love his
9
Little darks and greater light
10
And the sun it shined
11
And the sun it shined
12
And the sun it shined
13
A little longer
14
Jack wept and kissed his shadow
15
"Goodbye"
16
Spat from their dirty dungeons
17
Into a truly different din
18
Shat from their institutions
19
Into a fully different din
20
And his shadow soon became a wife
21
And children plagued his latter life
22
Until one night he took a skinning knife
23
And stole into the town
24
And tracked his shadow down
25
Said the shadow to Jack Henry
26
"What's wrong?"
27
Jack said "A home is not a hole"
28
"And shwdow, you're just a gallow that I hang my body from"
29
"O Shadow, your a shackle from wich my time is never done"
30
Then he peeled his shadow off in strips
31
He peeled his shadow off in strips
32
Then kneeled his shadow on some steps
33
And cried "What have I done?"
34
And the sun it shined
35
And the sun it shined
36
I say "Love is blind"
37
"And is it any wonder?!"
38
"And is it any wonder?!"
39
Jacked and his damned shadow
40
Is gone
41
And though each one of us are want to duly mourn
42
And though each one of us are want to duly mourn
43
'Tis done in brighter corners now
44
'Tis done in brighter corners now
45
Now that Jack's black shadow's gone
46
And the sun it shined
47
And the sun it shined
48
And the sun it shined
49
A little stronger
50
I swear, love is blind
51
Ooh, love is blind
52
Yeah, love is blind
53
And is it any wonder?
54
'Tis done in brighter corners now
55
'Tis done in brighter corners now
56
Now that Jack's black shadow's gone
57
