Streets Of London.kar

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 by 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 talkin'
She just keeps right on walkin'

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 all night cafe at
a quarter past eleven
same old man

sitting there on his own
Looking at the world
o'er 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
mem'ry 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

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 by 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
