[00:00.00]Streets Of London - Ralph McTell
[00:04.42]Lyrics by：McTell
[00:08.84]Composed by：McTell
[00:13.26]Have you seen the old man
[00:15.65]In the closed down market
[00:19.10]Kicking up the papers
[00:21.60]With his worn out shoes
[00:24.93]In his eyes you see no pride
[00:27.95]Hands held loosely at his side
[00:31.42]Yesterday's paper
[00:33.50]Telling yesterday's news
[00:38.32]So how can you tell me you're lonely
[00:45.14]And say for you that the sun don't shine
[00:50.98]Let me take you by the hand
[00:53.49]And lead you through the streets of London
[00:57.80]I'll show you something to make you change your mind
[01:09.46]Have you seen the old girl
[01:12.15]Who walks the streets of London
[01:15.49]Dirt in her hair
[01:17.92]And her clothes in rags
[01:21.55]She's no time for talking
[01:24.06]She just keeps right on walking
[01:27.67]Carrying her home
[01:30.18]In two carrier bags
[01:35.00]So how can you tell me you're lonely
[01:42.04]And say for you that the sun don't shine
[01:47.85]Let me take you by the hand
[01:50.39]And lead you through the streets of London
[01:54.66]I'll show you something to make you change your mind
[02:12.84]And in the all night cafe
[02:15.11]At a quarter past eleven
[02:18.53]Same old man
[02:21.13]Sitting there on his own
[02:24.81]Looking over the world
[02:27.04]Over the rim of his tea cup
[02:31.08]Each tea lasts an hour
[02:33.67]And he wanders home alone
[02:38.45]So how can you tell me you're lonely
[02:45.56]Don't say for you that the sun don't shine
[02:51.44]Let me take you by the hand
[02:54.01]And lead you through the streets of London
[02:58.27]I'll show you something to make you change your mind
[03:10.17]Have you seen the old man
[03:12.59]Outside the seaman's mission
[03:16.15]Memory fading with
[03:18.31]The medal ribbons that he wears
[03:22.47]In our Winter city
[03:24.93]The rain cries a little pity
[03:28.01]For one more forgotten hero
[03:31.20]And a world that doesn't care
[03:36.06]So how can you tell me you're lonely
[03:43.08]And say for you that the sun don't shine
[03:49.03]Let me take you by the hand
[03:51.66]And lead you through the streets of London
[03:55.98]I'll show you something to make you change your mind
