1
They dragged Jack and his shadow from the hole
2
And the bulb that burned above him
3
Did shine both day and night
4
And his shadow learned to love his
5
Little darks and greater light
6
And the sun, it shined
7
And the sun, it shined
8
And the sun, it shined
9
A little stronger, a little stronger
10
Jack wept and kissed his shadow "Goodbye"
11
Spat from their dirty dungeons
12
Into a truly different din
13
Shat from their institutions
14
Into a fully different din
15
And his shadow soon became a wife
16
And children plagued his latter life
17
Until one night he took a skinning knife
18
And stole into the town
19
And tracked, tracked his shadow down
20
Said the shadow to Jack Henry, "What's wrong?"
21
Jack said, "A home is not a hole"
22
"And shadow, you're just a gallow that I hang my body from"
23
"O shadow, you're a shackle from which my time is never done"
24
Then he peeled his shadow off in strips
25
He peeled his shadow off in strips
26
Then kneeled his shadow on some steps
27
And cried, "What have I done?"
28
And the sun, it shined
29
And the sun, it shined
30
I say "Love is blind"
31
And is it any wonder?
32
Is it any wonder?
33
Jack and his damned shadow is gone
34
And though each one of us all, want to duly mourn
35
Yes, and though each one of us, all want to duly mourn
36
'Tis done in brighter corners now
37
'Tis done in brighter corners now
38
'Tis done in brighter corners now
39
Now that Jack's black shadow's gone
40
And the sun, it shined
41
I say sun, it shined
42
And the sun it shined
43
A little stronger
44
Is it any wonder?
45
Is it any wonder?
46
That love is blind
47
I say love is blind
48
I say love is blind
49
A little stronger
50
A little stronger
51
'Tis done in brighter corners now
52
Tis done in brighter corners now
53
'Tis done in brighter corners now
54
Now that Jack's black shadow's gone
55
Yeah, Jack's black shadow's gone
56
And I swear, love is blind
57
Yeah, love is blind
58
Yeah, love is blind
59
[Incomprehensible]
60
Oh, the sun, it shined
61
The sun, it shined
62
The sun, it shined
63
But when I can't remember
64
But 'tis done in brighter corners now
65
Tis done in brighter corners now
66
'Tis done in brighter corners now
67
Tis done in brighter corners now
68
'Tis done in brighter corners now
69
Now that Jack's black shadow's gone
70
Now that Jack's black shadow's gone
71
Now that Jack's black shadow's gone
72
Now that Jack's black shadow's gone
73
Now that Jack's black shadow's gone
