The Robert Cray Band - Pardon lyrics

rate me

(Intro) I hear him when he weeps and moans I've even seen him shed tears For after taking those wedding vows That didn't last many years I've seen him walk the streets alone In the wind and rain cold and weak Help the poor man save his heart Take him in, make him neat And grant him a pardon Grant him a pardon from love The people talk when he passes by And they don't seem to care The pain he hides down in his soul That they don't want to share If he could turn this world around He could be like you and me Help him break these chains of love Help the man go free And grant him a pardon Grant him a pardon Grant him a pardon from love (guitar solo) And grant him a pardon Grant him a pardon from love He's guilty of nothing that I can think of, oh no So let's not convict him He just happens to be a prisoner of love So if you're out on that lonely street And by chance pass him by Don't rush to judgement or put him down Cause you could be that guy Someone could take your heart to school one day And that would surely change your plans And all the things you think you know Now you understand And grant him a pardon Grant him a pardon Grant him a pardon from love All you got to do is Grant him a pardon Grant him a pardon Grant him a pardon from love Grant him a pardon, baby Grant him a pardon from love Just grant him a pardon From love Won't ya (guitar outro)
