Lyrics

[00:11.21] Have you seen the old man
[00:14.83] In the closed down market
[00:18.34] Kicking up the papers with his worn out shoes
[00:24.13] In his eyes you see no pride
[00:27.12] Hands held loosely at his side
[00:30.76] Yesterday's paper, telling yesterday's news
[03:35.27][02:37.42][01:34.30][00:37.44] So how can you tell me you're lonely
[03:42.23][02:44.59][01:41.20][00:43.69] And say for you that the sun don't shine
[03:48.02][02:50.68][01:46.98][00:49.51] Let me take you by the hand
[03:50.70][02:53.08][01:49.43][00:52.35] And lead you through the streets of London
[03:55.10][02:57.15][01:53.41][00:56.44] I'll show you something
[03:57.46][02:59.55][01:55.78][00:59.06] To make you change your mind
[01:08.12] Have you seen the old girl
[01:10.89] Who walks the streets of London
[01:14.31] Dirt in her hair and her clothes in rags
[01:20.53] She's no time for talking
[01:23.40] She just keeps right on walking
[01:26.43] Carrying her home in two carrier bags
[02:11.46] In the old night cafe at a quarter past eleven
[02:17.59] The same old man sitting there on his own
[02:23.83] Looking at the world over the rim of his teacup
[02:29.98] Each tea lasts an hour, and he wanders home alone
[03:04.78] Have you seen the old man
[03:11.94] Outside the seaman's mission
[03:15.24] Memory fading with the minor ribands that he wears
[03:21.49] In our winter city the rain cries little pity
[03:27.40] For one more forgotten hero
[03:30.49] And a world which doesn't care
