Have you seen the old man in the closed down market?
Kicking up the papers with his worn out shoes
In his eyes you see no pride
Hand held losely by his side
Yesterday's paper's telling yesterday's news
Refrain:
So how can you tell me
You're lonely
And say for you 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
Rafrain
In the all night cafe at a quarter past eleven
Same old man's sitting there on his own
Looking at the world
over the rim of his teacup
Each tea lasts an hour and he wanders home alone
Refrain
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
Refrain
