Raffi - Streets Of London lyrics

Have you seen the old man Outside the closed-down market Kicking up papers, In old worn out shoes? In his eyes you see no pride And held loosely at his side Yesterday's paper with yesterday's news Have you seen the old girl Walking along the streets of London Dirt in her hair and her clothes in rags? She has no time for talking, She just keeps right on walking Carrying her world in two paper bags. Then how can you tell me you're lonely, And say for you 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 an all night cafe At a quarter past eleven, There sits an old, old man all by himself Gazing at the world Pa** the rim of his teacup, Each tea last an hour Then he wanders home alone Then how can you tell me you're lonely, And say for you 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 man Outside the seaman's mission His memory faded like The medals that he wears. In our winter city, The rain cries a little pity One more forgotten hero And a world that doesn't care Then how can you tell me you're lonely, And say for you 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 that's just bound to change your mind 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
