[00:15.110] | Have you seen the old man |
[00:18.730] | In the closed down market |
[00:22.240] | Kicking up the papers with his worn out shoes |
[00:28.30] | In his eyes you see no pride |
[00:31.20] | Hands held loosely at his side |
[00:34.659] | Yesterday's paper, telling yesterday's news |
[00:41.339] | So how can you tell me you're lonely |
[00:47.589] | And say for you that the sun don't shine |
[00:53.409] | Let me take you by the hand |
[00:56.249] | And lead you through the streets of London |
[01:00.339] | I'll show you something |
[01:02.959] | To make you change your mind |
[01:12.19] | Have you seen the old girl |
[01:14.789] | Who walks the streets of London |
[01:18.209] | Dirt in her hair and her clothes in rags |
[01:24.429] | She's no time for talking |
[01:27.299] | She just keeps right on walking |
[01:30.329] | Carrying her home in two carrier bags |
[01:38.199] | So how can you tell me you're lonely |
[01:45.99] | And say for you that the sun don't shine |
[01:50.879] | Let me take you by the hand |
[01:53.329] | And lead you through the streets of London |
[01:57.309] | I'll show you something |
[01:59.679] | To make you change your mind |
[02:15.360] | In the old night cafe at a quarter past eleven |
[02:21.490] | The same old man sitting there on his own |
[02:27.730] | Looking at the world over the rim of his teacup |
[02:33.880] | Each tea lasts an hour, and he wanders home alone |
[02:41.320] | So how can you tell me you're lonely |
[02:48.490] | And say for you that the sun don't shine |
[02:54.580] | Let me take you by the hand |
[02:56.980] | And lead you through the streets of London |
[03:01.50] | I'll show you something |
[03:03.450] | To make you change your mind |
[03:08.680] | Have you seen the old man |
[03:15.840] | Outside the seaman's mission |
[03:19.140] | Memory fading with the minor ribands that he wears |
[03:25.390] | In our winter city the rain cries little pity |
[03:31.300] | For one more forgotten hero |
[03:34.390] | And a world which doesn't care |
[03:39.170] | So how can you tell me you're lonely |
[03:46.130] | And say for you that the sun don't shine |
[03:51.920] | Let me take you by the hand |
[03:54.600] | And lead you through the streets of London |
[03:59.0] | I'll show you something |
[04:01.360] | To make you change your mind |
