Streets Of London

Have you seen the old man

  • Have you seen the old man
  • In the closed down market
  • Kicking up the papers
  • with his worn out shoes
  • In his eyes you see no pride
  • Hand held loosely at his side
  • Yesterday's papers telling yesterday's news
  • So how can you tell me you're lonely
  • And say for you that the sun don't shine
  • Let me take you by the hand and lead you through the streets of London
  • I'll Show you something to make you change your mind
  • Have you seen the old girl
  • Who walks the streets of London
  • Dirt in her hair and her clothes in rags
  • She's no time for talking
  • She just keeps right on walking
  • Carrying her home in two carrier bags
  • So how can you tell me you're lonely
  • And say for you that the sun don't shine
  • Let me take you by the hand and lead you through the streets of London
  • I'll show you something to make you change your mind
  • In the all night cafe
  • At a quarter past eleven
  • Same old man sitting there on his own
  • Looking at the world
  • Over the rim of his teacup
  • Each tea lasts an hour
  • And he wanders home alone
  • So how can you tell me you're lonely
  • And say for you that the sun don't shine
  • Let me take you by the hand and lead you through the streets of London
  • I'll show you something to make you change your mind
  • Have you seen the old man
  • Outside the Seaman's Mission
  • Memory fading with the medal ribbons that he wears
  • In our winter city
  • The rain cries a little pity
  • For one more forgotten hero
  • And a world that doesn't care
  • So how can you tell me you're lonely
  • And say for you that the sun don't shine
  • Let me take you by the hand and lead you through the streets of London
  • I'll show you something to make you change your mind
