Streets Of London歌词

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
Hands 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＇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 old night cafe at a quarter past eleven
The 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 minor ribands that he wears
In our winter city the rain cries little pity
For one more forgotten hero
And a world which 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
