Lyrics

[00:14.40] There is a store on London Road
[00:17.87] Where all unwanted treasure goes
[00:21.64] For Vintage clothes they'll give you old for new
[00:28.86] Come rain or shine they'll venture out
[00:32.29] To rifle through the lost and found
[00:36.02] Guaranteed to find a gem or two
[00:43.32] Every Monday morning there's an old man at the store
[00:50.43] Always seems to find exactly what he's looking for
[00:58.63] He blows the dust from off the surface
[01:02.22] Traces each and every line
[01:05.81] And with Scarred and weathered fingers
[01:09.55] Holds it up towards the light
[01:12.92] He knows exactly what he has to do to bring it back to life
[01:20.36] Nothing is worthless for the one who sees the gold
[01:27.69] New for old.
[01:36.06]
[01:42.60] He takes it home and once again.
[01:46.13] He's skilled and loving hands begin
[01:49.72] To strip away the varnish and the glue
[01:56.56] He sands it down and though it's late
[02:00.29] He gives it one more coat of paint
[02:03.80] Till every crack is gone it's good as new
[02:11.00] Every Monday morning you will find him at the store
[02:18.07] If someone has thrown away something he knows he can restore
[02:26.13] He blows the dust from off the surface
[02:29.85] Traces each and every line
[02:33.38] And with Scarred and weathered fingers
[02:36.83] Holds it up towards the light
[02:40.46] He knows exactly what he has to do to bring it back to life
[02:47.56] Nothing is worthless for the one who sees the gold
[02:54.98] There is nothing that's beyond repair
[03:01.96] There is no one too far gone
[03:08.80] Can't your eyes see what can be done
[03:16.22] With a little love
[03:25.05] Just blow the dust from off the surface of each tired and weary life
[03:32.08] There's a diamond to discover when you hold it to the light
[03:39.26] Cause everyone is someone's treasure when there're loved and that is why
[03:51.08] Nothing's worthless for the one who sees the gold
[03:58.78] New for old.
[04:00.24]
