Have you seen the old man
In the closed down market

Picking up the papers
With his wom out shoes

In his eyes you see no pride
And down loosely at his side

Yesterday&#39;s papers
telling yesterday&#39;s news

So how can you tell me
you&#39;re lonely

And say for you
that the sun don&#39;t shine

W ell let me take you
by the hand

And lead you through

the streets of London

I&#39;ll shomr you something
To make you
change your mind

And have you seen
the old girl, who walks
the streets of London

Dirt in her hair
And her clothes in rags

She&#39;s no time for talking
She just
keeps right on walking

Carrying her home
in two carrier bags

So how can you tell me
you&#39;re lonely

And say for you
that the sun don&#39;t shine

Well let me take
you by the hand
And lead you through
the streets of London

I&#39;ll shomr you something
To make you
change your mind

In the Old Mack Cafe
At quatter past eleven

Same old man
Sitting there on his own

Looking at the world
Over the rim of his tea cup

And each tea lasts an hour
And he wanders home alone

So how can you tell me
you&#39;re lonely

And say for you
that the sun don&#39;t shine

Well let me take
you by the hand
And lead you through
the streets of London

I&#39;ll shomr you something
To make you
change your mind

Have you seen the old man
Outside the seaman&#39;s mission

Memory fading with
the medal ribbons
that he wears

And in our winter city
Doing crimes and little pity

For one more forgotten hero
And a world that doesn&#39;t care

So how can you tell me
you&#39;re lonely

And say for you
that the sun don&#39;t shine

Well let me take
you by the hand
And lead you through
the streets of London

I&#39;ll shomr you something
To make you
change your mind.....
