Streets of London

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
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
No, she just keeps right on walking
Carrying her home in two carrier bags
In the all night cafe at a quarter past eleven
Same old man is sitting there on his own
Looking at the world over the rim of his tea-cup
Each tea lasts an hour
Then 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 walk you through the streets of London
I'll show you something that make you change your mind
Have you seen the old man outside the Seaman's Mission?
His memory fading with the medals 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 walk you through the streets of London
I'll show you something that make you change your mind
Let me take you by the hand
And walk you through the streets of London
I'll show you something that make you change your mind
