The Streets Of London
Have you seen the old man In the closed-down market Kicking up the paper
With his worn out shoes? In his eyes you see no pride Hands held loosely by 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 girl 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
Letras de cancionesAt a quarter past eleven
Same old man, sitting there on his own Looking at the world Over the rim of his tea-cup
Each tea lasts an hour Then he wanders home alone 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 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
