The Runaway Cart
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
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
