Streets of London-湯川潮音

Streets of London - 湯川潮音 詞：湯川潮音 曲：湯川潮音 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 Hand 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 is 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 And 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
