[00:15.110] Have you seen the old man
[00:18.730] In the closed down market
[00:22.240] Kicking up the papers with his worn out shoes
[00:28.30] In his eyes you see no pride
[00:31.20] Hands held loosely at his side
[00:34.659] Yesterday's paper, telling yesterday's news
[00:41.339] So how can you tell me you're lonely
[00:47.589] And say for you that the sun don't shine
[00:53.409] Let me take you by the hand
[00:56.249] And lead you through the streets of London
[01:00.339] I'll show you something
[01:02.959] To make you change your mind
[01:12.19] Have you seen the old girl
[01:14.789] Who walks the streets of London
[01:18.209] Dirt in her hair and her clothes in rags
[01:24.429] She's no time for talking
[01:27.299] She just keeps right on walking
[01:30.329] Carrying her home in two carrier bags
[01:38.199] So how can you tell me you're lonely
[01:45.99] And say for you that the sun don't shine
[01:50.879] Let me take you by the hand
[01:53.329] And lead you through the streets of London
[01:57.309] I'll show you something
[01:59.679] To make you change your mind
[02:15.360] In the old night cafe at a quarter past eleven
[02:21.490] The same old man sitting there on his own
[02:27.730] Looking at the world over the rim of his teacup
[02:33.880] Each tea lasts an hour, and he wanders home alone
[02:41.320] So how can you tell me you're lonely
[02:48.490] And say for you that the sun don't shine
[02:54.580] Let me take you by the hand
[02:56.980] And lead you through the streets of London
[03:01.50] I'll show you something
[03:03.450] To make you change your mind
[03:08.680] Have you seen the old man
[03:15.840] Outside the seaman's mission
[03:19.140] Memory fading with the minor ribands that he wears
[03:25.390] In our winter city the rain cries little pity
[03:31.300] For one more forgotten hero
[03:34.390] And a world which doesn't care
[03:39.170] So how can you tell me you're lonely
[03:46.130] And say for you that the sun don't shine
[03:51.920] Let me take you by the hand
[03:54.600] And lead you through the streets of London
[03:59.0] I'll show you something
[04:01.360] To make you change your mind
[00:15.110] Have you seen the old man
[00:18.730] In the closed down market
[00:22.240] Kicking up the papers with his worn out shoes
[00:28.30] In his eyes you see no pride
[00:31.20] Hands held loosely at his side
[00:34.659] Yesterday s paper, telling yesterday s news
