The Streets Of London
Have you seen the old man
- Have you seen the old man
- In the closed-down market
- Kicking up the paper
- With his worn out shoes
- In his eyes you see no pride
- Hand held loosely at his side
- Yesterday's paper 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 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 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 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 show you something to
- Make you change your mind
- I show you something to
- Make you change your mind
