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, |
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 |
Chorus: |
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 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 |
Chorus |
