Jack said, "A home is not a hole" "And shadow, you're just a gallow that I hang my body from" "O shadow, you're a shackle from which 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? Is it any wonder? Jack and his damned shadow is gone And though each one of us all, want to duly mourn Yes, and though each one of us, all 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 And the sun, it shined I say sun, it shined And the sun it shined A little stronger Is it any wonder? Is it any wonder? That love is blind I say love is blind I say 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 Yeah, Jack's black shadow's gone And I swear, love is blind Yeah, love is blind Yeah, love is blind [Incomprehensible] 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 Album Lyrics: Your Funeral, My Trail [1986] Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds "Your Funeral, My Trail [1986]" 1.
