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
Hands held loosely at his side
Yesterdays paper , telling yesterdays news
So how can you tell me youre lonely
And say for you that the sun dont shine
Let me take you by the hand
And lead you through the streets of London
Ill 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
Shes no time for talking
She just keeps right on walking
Carrying her home in two carrier bags
So how can you tell me youre lonely
And say for you that the sun dont shine
Let me take you by the hand
And lead you through the streets of London
Ill show you something
To make you change your mind
Have you seen the old man
Outside the seamans 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 doesnt care
So how can you tell me youre lonely
And say for you that the sun dont shine
Let me take you by the hand
And lead you through the streets of London
Ill show you something
To make you change your mind
