Streets of London

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 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
 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
 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 tea cup
 Each tea lasts an hour
 And he wanders home alone
 So, how can you tell me you're lonely?
 Don't say for you that the sun don't shine
 Let me take you by the hand
 And lead you through the streets of London
 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
