Streets Of London - Mary Hopkin

[00:03.95]Have you seen the old man
[00:09.96]In the closed down market
[00:13.67]Kicking up the papers with his worn out shoes
[00:20.77]In his eyes you see no pride
[00:24.10]Hands held loosely at his side
[00:27.46]Yesterday's papers, telling yesterday's news
[00:35.78]So how can you tell me you're lonely
[00:42.89]And say for you that the sun don't shine
[00:49.27]Let me take you by the hand
[00:53.39]And lead you through the streets of London
[00:57.29]I'll show you something
[01:00.04]To make you change your mind
[01:09.11]Have you seen the old girl
[01:11.80]Who walks the streets of London
[01:15.94]Dirt in her hair and her clothes in rags
[01:22.32]She's no time for talking
[01:25.66]She just keeps right on walking
[01:29.63]Carrying her home in two carrier bags
[01:37.45]So how can you tell me you're lonely
[01:44.76]And say for you that the sun don't shine
[01:50.82]Let me take you by the hand
[01:54.90]And lead you through the streets of London
[01:58.68]I'll show you something
[02:01.55]To make you change your mind
[02:11.10]In the old night cafe at a quarter past eleven
[02:17.27]The same old man sitting there on his own
[02:23.83]Looking at the world over the rim of his teacup
[02:30.90]Each tea lasts an hour, and he wanders home alone
[02:40.10]So how can you tell me you're lonely
[02:47.38]And say for you that the sun don't shine
[02:54.10]Let me take you by the hand
[02:57.09]And lead you through the streets of London
[03:01.50]I'll show you something
[03:03.82]To make you change your mind
[03:13.06]Have you seen the old man
[03:15.92]Outside the seaman's mission
[03:19.93]Memory fading with the minor ribands that he wears
[03:27.09]In our winter city the rain cries little pity
[03:33.61]For one more forgotten hero
[03:37.18]And a world which doesn't care
[03:42.44]So how can you tell me you're lonely
[03:49.99]And say for you that the sun don't shine
[03:56.87]Let me take you by the hand
[04:00.38]And lead you through the streets of London
[04:04.21]I'll show you something
[04:07.77]To make you change your mind
