Javert
Can this be true? I don't belive 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--
Valjean
Say what you must, don't leave it there.
Javert
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.
Of course he now denies it
You'd expect that of a con
But he couldn't run forever,
No, not even Jean Valjean
