[00:00:00] J.J. Johnson - Streets Of London

[00:00:01] Written by：Ralph McTell

[00:00:11] Have you seen the old man

[00:00:13] In the closed down market

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

[00:00:21] In his eyes you see no pride

[00:00:24] Hands held loosely at his side

[00:00:26] Yesterdays paper telling yesterday's news

[00:00:32] So how can you tell me you're lonely

[00:00:37] And say for you that the sun don't shine

[00:00:42] Let me take you by the hand

[00:00:44] And lead you through the streets of London

[00:00:47] I'll show you something

[00:00:49] To make you change your mind

[00:00:56] Have you seen the old girl

[00:00:58] Who walks the streets of london

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

[00:01:06] Shes no time for talking

[00:01:08] She just keeps right on walking

[00:01:11] Carrying her home in two carrier bags

[00:01:16] So how can you tell me you're lonely

[00:01:22] And say for you that the sun don't shine

[00:01:27] Let me take you by the hand

[00:01:29] And lead you through the streets of London

[00:01:32] I'll show you something

[00:01:34] To make you change your mind

[00:01:49] In the old night cafe

[00:01:51] At a quarter past eleven

[00:01:54] The same old man

[00:01:56] Sitting there on his own

[00:01:59] Looking at the world over the rim of his tea cup

[00:02:04] Each tea lasts an hour

[00:02:06] And he wanders home alone

[00:02:10] So how can you tell me you're lonely

[00:02:15] And say for you that the sun don't shine

[00:02:20] Let me take you by the hand

[00:02:22] And lead you through the streets of London

[00:02:25] I'll show you something

[00:02:27] To make you change your mind

[00:02:34] Have you seen the old man

[00:02:36] Outside the seaman's mission

[00:02:39] Memory fading with the medal ribbons that he wears

[00:02:43] In our winter city

[00:02:45] The rain cries a little pity

[00:02:48] For one more forgotten hero

[00:02:51] And a world that doesn't care

[00:02:54] So how can you tell me you're lonely

[00:03:00] And say for you that the sun don't shine

[00:03:05] Let me take you by the hand

[00:03:07] And lead you through the streets of London

[00:03:10] I'll show you something

[00:03:12] To make you change your mind
