Have you seen the old

man in the closed-down
market?

Have you seen the old

man in the closed-down
market?

Kicking up the paper,

with his worn out shoes

In his eyes you see no

pride and held loosely
at his side

Yesterday's paper

telling yesterday's news

So how can you

tell me, you're lonely?

And say, for you

that the sun don't shine

Let me take you by
the hand and lead you

through the streets of
London

I'll show you something

to make you change
your mind

Have you seen the
old girl who walks the
streets of London?
Dirt in her hair and her
clothes in rags

She'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're lonely?

And say, for you

that the sun don't shine

Let me take you by
the hand and lead you

through the streets of
London

I'll show you something

to make you change
your mind

In the all night cafe
at a quarter past eleven.
Same old man sitting
there on his own

Looking at the world
over the rim of his tea
cup. Each tea lasts an
hour then he wanders

home, alone

So how can you

tell me, you're lonely?

Don't say for you

that the sun don't shine

Let me take you by
the hand and lead you

through the streets of
London

I'll show you something

to make you change
your mind

Have you seen the
old man outside the
seaman's mission?
Memory fading with the
medal ribbons that he
wears

In our winter city the
rain cries a little pity.
For one more forgotten
hero and a world that
doesn't care

So how can you

tell me, you're lonely?

And say, for you

that the sun don't shine

Let me take you by
the hand and lead you

through the streets of
London

I'll show you something

to make you change
your mind
