Streets Of London

Streets Of London文本歌词

作词 : Ralph McTell

作曲 : Ralph McTell

Have you seen the old man

In the closed-down market

Kicking up the papers

With his worn out shoes

In his eyes you see no pride

Hand held loosely at his side

Yesterday's paper telling yesterday's news

So how can you tell me you're lonely

And say for you that the sun don't shine

Let me take you by the hand and lead you through the streets of London

I'll show you something to make you change your mind

Have you seen the old dear who walks the streets of London

Dirt in her hair and her clothes in rags

She's no time for talking she just keeps right on walking

Carrying her home in two carrier bags

So how can you tell me you're lonely

And say for you that the sun don't shine

Let me take you by the hand and lead you through the streets of London

I'll show you something to make you change your mind

In the all night cafe at a quarter past eleven

Same old man sitting there on his own

Looking at the world over the rim of his teacup

And each tea lasts an hour and he wanders home alone

Have you seen the old man

Outside the Seaman's Mission

Memory fading with the medals that he wears

In our winter city

The rain cries a little pity

For one more forgotten hero

And a world that doesn't care

So how can you tell me that you're lonely

And say for you that the sun don't shine

Let me take you by the hand and lead you through the streets of London

I'll show you something to make you change your mind
