[00:12.110] | Have you seen the old man |
[00:15.730] | In the closed down market |
[00:19.240] | Kicking up the papers with his worn out shoes |
[00:25.30] | In his eyes you see no pride |
[00:28.20] | Hands held loosely at his side |
[00:31.660] | Yesterday's paper, telling yesterday's news |
[00:38.339] | So how can you tell me you're lonely |
[00:44.589] | And say for you that the sun don't shine |
[00:50.409] | Let me take you by the hand |
[00:53.249] | And lead you through the streets of London |
[00:57.339] | I'll show you something |
[00:59.959] | To make you change your mind |
[01:09.20] | Have you seen the old girl |
[01:11.789] | Who walks the streets of London |
[01:15.210] | Dirt in her hair and her clothes in rags |
[01:21.429] | She's no time for talking |
[01:24.300] | She just keeps right on walking |
[01:27.330] | Carrying her home in two carrier bags |
[01:35.199] | So how can you tell me you're lonely |
[01:42.100] | And say for you that the sun don't shine |
[01:47.879] | Let me take you by the hand |
[01:50.330] | And lead you through the streets of London |
[01:54.309] | I'll show you something |
[01:56.679] | To make you change your mind |
[02:12.360] | In the old night cafe at a quarter past eleven |
[02:18.490] | The same old man sitting there on his own |
[02:24.730] | Looking at the world over the rim of his teacup |
[02:30.880] | Each tea lasts an hour, and he wanders home alone |
[02:38.320] | So how can you tell me you're lonely |
[02:45.490] | And say for you that the sun don't shine |
[02:51.580] | Let me take you by the hand |
[02:53.980] | And lead you through the streets of London |
[02:58.50] | I'll show you something |
[03:00.450] | To make you change your mind |
[03:05.680] | Have you seen the old man |
[03:12.840] | Outside the seaman's mission |
[03:16.140] | Memory fading with the minor ribands that he wears |
[03:22.390] | In our winter city the rain cries little pity |
[03:28.300] | For one more forgotten hero |
[03:31.390] | And a world which doesn't care |
[03:36.170] | So how can you tell me you're lonely |
[03:43.130] | And say for you that the sun don't shine |
[03:48.920] | Let me take you by the hand |
[03:51.600] | And lead you through the streets of London |
[03:56.0] | I'll show you something |
[03:58.360] | To make you change your mind |
