Street of London - David Roth

[00:00:00]~guitar~
[00:14:00]Have you seen the old man
[00:17:00]In the closed down market
[00:20:00]Kicking up the papers with his worn out shoes
[00:25:00]In his eyes you see no pride
[00:28:00]Hands held loosely at his side
[00:30:00]Yesterday's paper, telling yesterday's news
[00:36:00]So how can you tell me you're lonely
[00:42:00]And say for you that the sun don't shine
[00:46:00]Let me take you by the hand
[00:51:00]And lead you through the streets of London
[00:53:00]I'll show you something
[00:54:00]To make you change your mind
[00:57:00]Have you seen the old girl
[01:02:00]Who walks the streets of London
[01:06:00]Dirt in her hair and her clothes in rags
[01:12:00]She's no time for talking
[01:14:00]She just keeps right on walking
[01:17:00]Carrying her home in two carrier bags
[01:23:00]So how can you tell me you're lonely
[01:29:00]And say for you that the sun don't shine
[01:34:00]Let me take you by the hand
[01:36:00]And lead you through the streets of London
[01:39:00]I'll show you something
[01:41:00]To make you change your mind
[02:08:00]So how can you tell me you're lonely
[02:13:00]And say for you that the sun don't shine
[02:17:00]Let me take you by the hand
[02:20:00]And lead you through the streets of London
[02:23:00]I'll show you something
[02:26:00]To make you change your mind
[02:32:00]In the old night cafe at a quarter past eleven
[02:37:00]The same old man sitting there on his own
[02:43:00]Looking at the world over the rim of his teacup
[02:48:00]Each tea lasts an hour, and he wanders home alone
[02:54:00]So how can you tell me you're lonely
[03:00:00]And say for you that the sun don't shine
[03:05:00]Let me take you by the hand
[03:07:00]And lead you through the streets of London
[03:10:00]I'll show you something
[03:12:00]To make you change your mind
[03:20:00]Have you seen the old man
[03:22:00]Outside the seaman's mission
[03:24:00]Memory fading with the minor ribands that he wears
[03:29:00]In our winter city the rain cries little pity
[03:35:00]For one more forgotten hero
[03:37:00]And a world which doesn't care
[03:40:00]So how can you tell me you're lonely
[03:46:00]And say for you that the sun don't shine
[03:51:00]Let me take you by the hand
[03:54:00]And lead you through the streets of London
[03:57:00]I'll show you something
[03:59:00]To make you change your mind
