Lyrics

[00:12.15] Have you seen the old man
[00:14.57] In the closed down market
[00:18.10] Kicking up the papers with his worn out shoes
[00:23.28] In his eyes you see no pride
[00:26.15] Hands held loosely at his side
[00:29.24] Yesterday's papers, telling yesterday's news
[00:36.63] So how can you tell me you're lonely
[00:42.58] And say for you that the sun don't shine
[00:47.90] Let me take you by the hand
[00:50.93] And lead you through the streets of London
[00:54.41] I'll show you something
[00:56.72] To make you change your mind
[01:03.39] Have you seen the old girl
[01:05.73] Who walks the streets of London
[01:08.60] Dirt in her hair and her clothes in rags
[01:14.53] She's no time for talking
[01:16.82] She just keeps right on walking
[01:20.20] Carrying her home in two carrier bags
[01:27.65] So how can you tell me you're lonely
[01:33.43] And say for you that the sun don't shine
[01:39.06] Let me take you by the hand
[01:42.07] And lead you through the streets of London
[01:45.37] I'll show you something
[01:47.57] To make you change your mind
[02:01.52] In the old night cafe at a quarter past eleven
[02:08.09] The same old man sitting there on his own
[02:14.26] Looking at the world over the rim of his teacup
[02:19.74] Each tea lasts an hour, and he wanders home alone
[02:26.93] So how can you tell me you're lonely
[02:32.82] And say for you that the sun don't shine
[02:38.71] Let me take you by the hand
[02:41.55] And lead you through the streets of London
[02:45.00] I'll show you something
[02:47.39] To make you change your mind
[02:51.83] Have you seen the old man
[02:54.94] Outside the seaman's mission
[02:57.74] Memory fading with the minor ribands that he wears
[03:03.36] In our winter city the rain cries little pity
[03:08.74] For one more forgotten hero
[03:12.48] And a world which doesn't care
[03:16.89] So how can you tell me you're lonely
[03:22.87] And say for you that the sun don't shine
[03:28.63] Let me take you by the hand
[03:31.36] And lead you through the streets of London
[03:35.02] I'll show you something
[03:37.20] To make you change your mind
