Christy Moore - Streets Of London Lyrics
Have you seen the old man in the closed down marketKicking up the papers with his worn out shoesIn his eyes you see no pride, hand held loosely at his sideYesterdays paper telling yesterdays newsCHORUSSo how can you tell me you're lonelyAnd say for you that the sun dont shineLet me take you by the hand and lead you through the streets of LondonI'll show you something that will make you change your mindHave you seen the old girl who walks the streets of londonDirt in her hair and her clothes in ragsshes no time for talking she just keeps right on walkingCarrying her home in two carrier bagsCHORUSIn the all night cafe, at a quarter past eleven,Same old man sitting there on his ownLooking at the world over the rim of his teacupEach tea lasts an hour and he wanders home aloneCHORUSHave you seen the old man, outside the seamans mission?Memory fading with the medal ribbons that he wearsIn our winter city the rain cries a little pityFor one more forgotton hero and a world that doesnt careCHORUS
