[00:00.00]Streets of London - The O'Neill Brothers Group
[00:15.86]Have you seen the old man in the closed-down market
[00:21.51]Place
[00:23.29]Kicking up the papers with his worn-out shoes
[00:30.63]In his eyes you'd see no pride hand held loosely by his side
[00:37.94]Yesterday's papers telling yesterday's news
[00:47.80]How can you tell me you're lonely
[00:54.98]You say for you the sun don't shine
[01:02.22]Let me take you by the hand
[01:05.86]And lead you through the streets of london
[01:09.52]I'll show you something to make you change your mind
[01:18.89]Have you seen the old girl who walks the streets of london
[01:26.32]Dirt in her hair and her clothes in rags
[01:33.45]She's no time for talking she just keeps right on walking
[01:41.00]Carrying her home in two carrier bags
[01:50.79]How can you tell me you're lonely
[01:58.07]And say for you the sun won't shine
[02:05.12]Let me take you by the hand
[02:08.12]And lead you through the streets of london
[02:12.50]I'll show you something to make you change your mind
[02:53.42]In the all-night cafe at a quarter past eleven
[03:00.46]Same old man sitting there on his own
[03:07.94]Looking at the world over the rim of his tea-cup
[03:15.04]Each tea lasts an hour then he wanders home alone
[03:25.37]How can you tell me you're lonely
[03:32.45]You say for you the sun don't shine
[03:39.49]Let me take you by the hand
[03:43.00]And lead you through the streets of london
[03:46.79]I'll show you something to make you change your mind
[03:56.30]Have you seen the old man outside the seaman's mission
[04:03.62]Memory fading like the medal they wears
[04:10.72]In our winter city the rain cries little pity
[04:17.96]One more forgotten hero and a world that doesn't care
[04:28.22]Can you tell me you're lonely
[04:35.48]And say for you that the sun don't shine
[04:42.51]Let me take you by the hand
[04:45.89]And lead you through the streets of london
[04:49.78]I'll show you something to make you change your mind
