Streets Of London - Beth Mccarthy

作曲：Ralph Mctell

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

Hand held loosely at 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

In the all night cafe

At a quarter past eleven

Same old man is sitting there on his own

Looking at the world

Over the rim of his tea cup

Each tea last 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

Have you seen the old man

Outside the seaman's mission

Memory fading with

The medal that he wears

In our winter city

The rain cries a little pity

One more forgotten hero

And a world that doesn't care

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

To make you change your mind

To make you change your mind

To make you change
