Streets of London 1973 <br /> <br />ave you seen the old man <br />In the closed-down market <br />Kicking up the paper, <br />with his worn out shoes? <br />In his eyes you see no pride <br />Hand held loosely at his side <br />Yesterday's paper telling yesterday's news <br /> <br />So how can you tell me that you're lonely, <br />And say for you that the sun don't shine? <br />Let me take you by the hand <br />and lead you through the streets of London <br />I'll show you something to make you change your mind <br /> <br />In the all night cafe <br />At a quarter past eleven, <br />Same old man is sitting there on his own <br />Looking at the world <br />Over the rim of his tea-cup, <br />Each tea last an hour <br />Then he wanders home alone <br /> <br />So how can you tell me that you're lonely, <br />And say for you that the sun don't shine? <br />Let me take you by the hand <br />and lead you through the streets of London <br />I'll show you something to make you change your mind <br /> <br />Have you seen the old man <br />Outside the seaman's mission <br />Memory fading with <br />The medal ribbons that he wears. <br />In our winter city, <br />The rain cries a little pity <br />For one more forgotten hero <br />And a world that doesn't care <br /> <br />So how can you tell me that you're lonely, <br />And say for you that the sun don't shine? <br />Let me take you by the hand <br />and lead you through the streets of London <br />I'll show you something to make you change your mind
