Streets of London (Live) - Ralph McTell[00:00:00]
Lyrics by:Mctell Ralph[00:00:00]
Composed by:Mctell Ralph[00:00:00]
Have you seen the old man[00:00:04]
In the closed-down market[00:00:06]
Kicking up the papers[00:00:09]
With his worn out shoes[00:00:12]
In his eyes you see no pride[00:00:16]
Hand held loosely at his side[00:00:19]
Yesterday's paper telling yesterday's news[00:00:23]
So how can you tell me you're lonely[00:00:30]
And say for you that the sun don't shine[00:00:38]
Let me take you by the hand and[00:00:43]
Lead you through the streets of London[00:00:47]
I'll show you something to make you change your mind[00:00:50]
Have you seen the old girl[00:00:58]
And she walks the streets of London[00:01:01]
Dirt in her hair and her clothes in rags[00:01:05]
She's no time for talking[00:01:11]
She just keeps right on walking[00:01:14]
Carrying her home in two carrier bags[00:01:18]
So how can you tell me you're lonely[00:01:24]
And say for you that the sun don't shine[00:01:32]
Let me take you by the hand and[00:01:38]
Lead you through the streets of London[00:01:41]
I'll show you something to make you change your mind[00:01:45]
In the all night cafe[00:01:52]
At a quarter past eleven[00:01:54]
Same old man sitting there on his own[00:01:57]
Looking at the world[00:02:01]
Over the rim of his tea cup[00:02:03]
Each tea lasts an hour[00:02:06]
And he wanders home alone[00:02:08]
So how can you tell me you're lonely[00:02:12]
And say for you that the sun don't shine[00:02:19]
Let me take you by the hand and[00:02:25]
Lead you through the streets of London[00:02:29]
I'll show you something to make you change your mind[00:02:33]
Have you seen the old man[00:02:40]
Outside the Seaman's Mission[00:02:43]
Memory fading with the medal ribbons that he wears[00:02:47]
And in our winter city[00:02:53]
The rain cries a little pity[00:02:56]
For one more forgotten hero[00:03:00]
And a world that doesn't care[00:03:04]
So how can you tell me you're lonely[00:03:08]
And say for you that the sun don't shine[00:03:16]
Let me take you by the hand and[00:03:22]
Lead you through the streets of London[00:03:25]
I'll show you something to make you change your mind[00:03:29]
I'll show you something to make you change your mind[00:03:37]
