《Streets of London》歌词

[00:00:01] Streets of London - Sinéad O'Connor

[00:00:12] Have you seen the old man, in the closed-down market

[00:00:17] Kicking up the papers, with his worn-out shoes?

[00:00:23] In his eyes you'd see no pride, hand held loosely by his side

[00:00:30] Yesterday's papers, telling yesterday's news

[00:00:37] So how can you tell me, you're lonely

[00:00:43] And say for you the sun won't shine?

[00:00:49] Let me take you by the hand,

[00:00:52] And lead you through the streets of London

[00:00:56] I'll show you something, to make you change your mind

[00:01:08] Have you seen the old girl, who walks the streets of London

[00:01:14] Dirt in her hair, and her clothes in rags?

[00:01:20] She's no time for talking, she just keeps right on walking

[00:01:26] Carrying her home, in two carrier bags

[00:01:33] So how can you tell me, you're lonely

[00:01:40] And say for you the sun won't shine?

[00:01:46] Let me take you by the hand,

[00:01:49] And lead you through the streets of London

[00:01:53] I'll show you something, to make you change your mind

[00:02:11] In the all-night cafe, at a quarter past eleven

[00:02:17] Same old man sitting there, on his own

[00:02:23] Looking at the world, over the rim of his tea-cup

[00:02:30] Each tea lasts an hour, then he wanders home alone

[00:02:37] So how can you tell me, you're lonely

[00:02:44] And say for you the sun won't shine?

[00:02:50] Let me take you by the hand,

[00:02:53] And lead you through the streets of London

[00:02:57] I'll show you something, to make you change your mind

[00:03:08] Have you seen the old man outside the Seaman's Mission

[00:03:14] Memory fading with the medal ribbons that he wears

[00:03:21] In our winter city, the rain cries little pity,

[00:03:26] For one more forgotten hero, and a world that doesn't care

[00:03:34] So how can you tell me, you're lonely

[00:03:41] And say for you that the sun doesn't shine?

[00:03:47] Let me take you by the hand,

[00:03:50] And lead you through the streets of London

[00:03:54] I'll show you something, to make you change your mind
