The Runaway Cart (Live)

Can this be true?

I don't believe what I see

A man your age to be as strong as you are

A memory stirs

You make me think of a man

From years ago

A man who broke his parole

He disappeared

Forgive me, sir, I would not dare

Say what you must, don't leave it there

I have only known one other

Who can do what you have done

He's a convict from the chain gang

He's been ten years on the run

But he couldn't run forever

We have found his hideaway

And he's just been re-arrested

And he comes to court today

Well, of course, he now denies it

You'd expect that of a con'

But he couldn't run forever, no

Not even Jean Valjean
