Song | Streets Of London |
Artist | Dana Winner |
Album | Unforgettable Too |
[00:11.210] | Have you seen the old man |
[00:14.830] | In the closed down market |
[00:18.340] | Kicking up the papers with his worn out shoes |
[00:24.130] | In his eyes you see no pride |
[00:27.120] | Hands held loosely at his side |
[00:30.760] | Yesterday's paper, telling yesterday's news |
[00:37.440] | So how can you tell me you're lonely |
[00:43.690] | And say for you that the sun don't shine |
[00:49.510] | Let me take you by the hand |
[00:52.350] | And lead you through the streets of London |
[00:56.440] | I'll show you something |
[00:59.60] | To make you change your mind |
[01:08.120] | Have you seen the old girl |
[01:10.890] | Who walks the streets of London |
[01:14.310] | Dirt in her hair and her clothes in rags |
[01:20.530] | She's no time for talking |
[01:23.400] | She just keeps right on walking |
[01:26.430] | Carrying her home in two carrier bags |
[01:34.300] | So how can you tell me you're lonely |
[01:41.200] | And say for you that the sun don't shine |
[01:46.979] | Let me take you by the hand |
[01:49.430] | And lead you through the streets of London |
[01:53.410] | I'll show you something |
[01:55.780] | To make you change your mind |
[02:11.460] | In the old night cafe at a quarter past eleven |
[02:17.590] | The same old man sitting there on his own |
[02:23.829] | Looking at the world over the rim of his teacup |
[02:29.980] | Each tea lasts an hour, and he wanders home alone |
[02:37.420] | So how can you tell me you're lonely |
[02:44.590] | And say for you that the sun don't shine |
[02:50.680] | Let me take you by the hand |
[02:53.79] | And lead you through the streets of London |
[02:57.150] | I'll show you something |
[02:59.550] | To make you change your mind |
[03:04.780] | Have you seen the old man |
[03:11.940] | Outside the seaman's mission |
[03:15.240] | Memory fading with the minor ribands that he wears |
[03:21.490] | In our winter city the rain cries little pity |
[03:27.400] | For one more forgotten hero |
[03:30.490] | And a world which doesn't care |
[03:35.270] | So how can you tell me you're lonely |
[03:42.230] | And say for you that the sun don't shine |
[03:48.20] | Let me take you by the hand |
[03:50.700] | And lead you through the streets of London |
[03:55.100] | I'll show you something |
[03:57.460] | To make you change your mind |
[00:11.210] | Have you seen the old man |
