[00:00.00]Streets Of London - Roger Whittaker
[00:11.94]Have you seen the old man in the closed down market
[00:17.32]Kicking up the papers with his worn out shoes
[00:22.31]In his eyes she see no pride hand held
[00:25.37]Loosely by his side
[00:27.73]Yesterday's papers telling yesterday's news
[00:33.71]Oh how can you tell me you're lonely
[00:39.63]And say for you that the sun don't shine
[00:44.06]Oh let me take you by the hand
[00:46.63]And lead you through the streets of London
[00:49.77]I'll show you something
[00:51.96]To make you change your mind
[00:58.79]Have you seen the old girl who walks the streets of London
[01:04.20]Dirt in her hair and her clothes in rags
[01:08.48]She's no time for talking
[01:11.03]She keeps right on walking
[01:13.91]Carrying her home in two carrier bags
[01:19.65]Oh how can you tell me you're lonely
[01:25.31]And say for you that the sun don't shine
[01:29.79]Oh let me take you by the hand
[01:31.96]And lead you through the streets of London
[01:35.33]I'll show you something
[01:37.38]To make you change your mind
[01:43.78]In the all night cafe at a quarter past eleven
[01:49.08]Same old man is sitting there on his own
[01:54.04]Looking at the world over the rim of his teacup
[01:58.64]Each tea last an hour and he wanders home alone
[02:04.70]So how can you tell me you're lonely
[02:10.23]And say for you that the sun don't shine
[02:14.62]Oh let me take you by the hand
[02:16.87]And lead you through the streets of London
[02:20.14]I'll show you something
[02:22.23]To make you change your mind
[02:28.07]Now have you seen the old man outside the seaman's mission
[02:34.04]Memory fading with the metal ribbons that he wears
[02:38.44]In our winter city why the rain cries a little pity
[02:42.68]For one more forgotten hero and a world that doesn't care
[02:49.06]Oh how can you tell me you're lonely
[02:54.69]And say for you that the sun don't shine
[02:58.93]Oh let me take you by the hand
[03:01.18]And lead you through the streets of London
[03:04.36]I'll show you something
[03:06.42]To make you change your mind
[03:13.62]I'll show you something
[03:16.41]To make you change
[03:19.85]Your mind
