[00:00.00]Streets of London (Bonus Track) - Roger Whittaker
[00:00.89]Lyrics by：Ralph McTell

[00:01.56]Composed by：Ralph McTell

[00:02.21]Produced by：Ian Summers

[00:03.69]
[00:15.46]Have you seen the old man

[00:17.70]In the closed down market

[00:19.84]
[00:20.54]Kicking up the papers

[00:22.67]With his worn out shoes

[00:25.26]
[00:25.93]In his eyes you see no pride

[00:28.70]Hand held loosely by his side

[00:30.89]
[00:31.40]Yesterday's papers telling

[00:33.83]Yesterday's news

[00:35.80]
[00:37.36]So how can you tell me you're lonely

[00:42.36]
[00:43.05]And say for you that the sun don't shine

[00:46.96]
[00:48.03]Let me take you by the hand

[00:50.64]And lead you through the streets of london

[00:53.21]
[00:53.76]I'll show you something

[00:55.23]
[00:55.90]To make you change your mind

[00:58.14]
[01:02.46]Have you seen the old girl

[01:05.15]Who walks the streets of london

[01:07.16]
[01:07.78]Dirt in her hair and her clothes in rags

[01:12.31]
[01:12.88]She's no time for talking

[01:14.77]
[01:15.39]She keeps right on walking

[01:17.64]
[01:18.16]Carrying her home in two carrier bags

[01:22.83]
[01:24.32]So how can you tell me you're lonely

[01:29.26]
[01:30.10]And say for you that the sun don't shine

[01:34.08]
[01:34.69]Let me take you by the hand

[01:37.46]And lead you through the streets of london

[01:40.02]
[01:40.54]I'll show you something

[01:42.74]To make you change your mind

[01:44.86]
[01:56.03]In the all night cafe

[01:58.18]At a quarter past eleven

[02:00.21]
[02:01.48]Same old man is sitting there on his own

[02:05.50]
[02:06.32]Looking at the world over

[02:08.49]The rim of his teacup

[02:10.76]
[02:11.65]Each tea last an hour

[02:13.84]And he wanders home alone

[02:16.56]
[02:17.66]So how can you tell me you're lonely

[02:22.74]
[02:23.50]And say for you that the sun don't shine

[02:27.37]
[02:28.22]Let me take you by the hand

[02:30.89]And lead you through the streets of london

[02:33.48]
[02:34.04]I'll show you something

[02:36.13]To make you change your mind

[02:38.37]
[02:42.64]Have you seen the old man

[02:45.00]Outside the seaman's mission

[02:47.02]
[02:48.31]Memory fading with the metal

[02:50.89]Ribbons that he wears

[02:52.46]
[02:52.99]In our winter city

[02:55.25]The rain cries a little pity

[02:57.77]For one more forgotten hero

[02:59.90]
[03:00.43]And a world that doesn't care

[03:04.65]How can you tell me you're lonely

[03:09.37]
[03:10.09]And say for you that the sun don't shine

[03:13.85]
[03:14.83]Let me take you by the hand

[03:17.47]And lead you through the streets of london

[03:19.88]
[03:20.49]I'll show you something

[03:22.58]To make you change your mind
