Paul Gordon - The Pledge lyrics

Are you ill, sir?

Jane, I've been dealt a blow -
I've been dealt a blow, jane

What is it, sir?

Will you ease my trouble?

If you tell me how

Once you offered your sweet shoulder

You can have it now please take my arm, sir
Let me comfort you

Jane, I wish that we were far away
On a quiet island in a distant country
Living day to day jane, what would you do?
If all the people that you see
Denounced my name and spat at me?

I would comfort you

Oh, Jane, what would you do?
If there was something I had done
To make them leave me one by one?

I would never lose faith
I would never lose heart
I would stand by your side
They could slander your name
They could brand you with shame
But so your heart be pure
There would be no blame
