Jack`s Shadow lyrics

Artist  : Nick Cave And The Bad Seeds 
Song : Jack`s Shadow
 


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
