[00:12.110] Have you seen the old man
[00:15.730] In the closed down market
[00:19.240] Kicking up the papers with his worn out shoes
[00:25.30] In his eyes you see no pride
[00:28.20] Hands held loosely at his side
[00:31.660] Yesterday's paper, telling yesterday's news
[00:38.339] So how can you tell me you're lonely
[00:44.589] And say for you that the sun don't shine
[00:50.409] Let me take you by the hand
[00:53.249] And lead you through the streets of London
[00:57.339] I'll show you something
[00:59.959] To make you change your mind
[01:09.20] Have you seen the old girl
[01:11.789] Who walks the streets of London
[01:15.210] Dirt in her hair and her clothes in rags
[01:21.429] She's no time for talking
[01:24.300] She just keeps right on walking
[01:27.330] Carrying her home in two carrier bags
[01:35.199] So how can you tell me you're lonely
[01:42.100] And say for you that the sun don't shine
[01:47.879] Let me take you by the hand
[01:50.330] And lead you through the streets of London
[01:54.309] I'll show you something
[01:56.679] To make you change your mind
[02:12.360] In the old night cafe at a quarter past eleven
[02:18.490] The same old man sitting there on his own
[02:24.730] Looking at the world over the rim of his teacup
[02:30.880] Each tea lasts an hour, and he wanders home alone
[02:38.320] So how can you tell me you're lonely
[02:45.490] And say for you that the sun don't shine
[02:51.580] Let me take you by the hand
[02:53.980] And lead you through the streets of London
[02:58.50] I'll show you something
[03:00.450] To make you change your mind
[03:05.680] Have you seen the old man
[03:12.840] Outside the seaman's mission
[03:16.140] Memory fading with the minor ribands that he wears
[03:22.390] In our winter city the rain cries little pity
[03:28.300] For one more forgotten hero
[03:31.390] And a world which doesn't care
[03:36.170] So how can you tell me you're lonely
[03:43.130] And say for you that the sun don't shine
[03:48.920] Let me take you by the hand
[03:51.600] And lead you through the streets of London
[03:56.0] I'll show you something
