Jack's Shadow (2009 Remastered Version) (2009 Digital Remaster)

Jacks Shadow (2009 Digital Remaster) - Nick Cave/The Bad Seeds

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

Yes though each one of us are want to duly mourn

'Tis done in brighter corners now

'Tis done in brighter corners now

'Tis done in brighter corners now

Now that Jack's black shadow's gone

Jack's black shadow's gone

And the sun it shined

And the sun it shined

And the sun it shined

And is it any wonder

"And is it any wonder

I swear love is blind

I swear love is blind

I swear love is blind

A little stronger

A little stronger

'Tis done in brighter corners now

'Tis done in brighter corners now

'Tis done in brighter corners now

Now that Jack's black shadow's gone

Now that Jack's black shadow's gone

I swear love is blind

Yeah love is blind

Yeah love is blind

Who can believe of blind-wonder

Oh the sun it shined

The sun it shined

The sun it shined

But when I can't remember

But 'Tis done in brighter corners now

Tis done in brighter corners now

'Tis done in brighter corners now

Tis done in brighter corners now

'Tis done in brighter corners now

Now that Jack's black shadow's gone

Now that Jack's black shadow's gone

Now that Jack's black shadow's gone

Now that Jack's black shadow's gone

Now that Jack's black shadow's gone
