Do pardon me your Highness
For seeming so forlorn,
A thief by trade they know me
For you I am reborn,
There are men who knows me well
I won't be cruel
I'm just a knave as well.
Please come a little closer
So I may see your face
Pray hold your lantern higher
It's clearer now but wait
It's a face I know so well
It's not for me to say but we'll find the way.
Heaven knows I could be wrong
To love a guy like you
Your rags and my riches won't do
Heaven knows I should be strong
and damn my yesterdays
Help me to find the way
Take! Take my hands so tight
so you can't let go
I know your tale is dirty
And we must surely know
That is only time can tell
we'll get off these doors where others don't go
Heaven knows those saddened eyes
can tell me all i wanna know
your face can I feel in my soul
God I found the perfect love
a vagabond with sins
when you're holding me loving me
love is so blind now
it's time to believe it's a dream
And leave the Duchess of Orleans
And leave
