Lyrics:

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

And held loosely by 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

Some old man sitting there on his own

Looking at the world

Over the rim of his tea-cup

each tea lasts an hour

And he wanders home alone

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 man

Outside the Seamen's Mission

Memory fading with the medal ribbons that he wears

And 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

I'll show you something to make you change your mind
