The 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 and held loosely by his side

Yesterday’s paper telling yesterday’s news.

              CHORUS:   So how can you tell me you’re lonely,

                                 And say for you the sun don’t shine?

                                 Oh, 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.

And 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.

And in the all-night café at a quarter past eleven

Same old man sitting there on his own.

Looking at the world over the rain of his tea cup,

Each tea lasts an hour and he wanders home alone.

And have you seen the old man outside the seamen’s mission,

Memories fading with the medal ribbons that he wears?

And in our winter city the rain cries a little pity

For one more forgotten hero and a world that doesn’t care.
