Streets of London.

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
And 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.

Chorus

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 last an hour
Then he wanders home alone

Chorus

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

Beatles - The Streets Of London Lyrics

Have you seen the old man in the closed down market,
kicking up the paper with worn out shoes ?
In his eyes you see no pride, and held loosely at his side,
Yesterday’s paper telling yesterday’s news.


Refrain:
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 though the streets of London,
I’ll show you something to make you change your mind.


Have you seen the old girl who walks to the streets of London,
dirt in her hair and her clothes just in rags?
She’s no time for talking, she just keeps right on walking,
Carrying here home in two carrier bags


Refrain:
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 though 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 sitting there on his ownLooking at the world over the rim of him tea-cup,
Each tea lasts an hour, then he wanders home alone.


Refrain:
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 though the streets of London,
I’ll show you something to make you change your mind.

Gordon Lightfoot- Streets of London. I think the 'B' side, as it was called in those days, was 'If You Could Read My Mind' & was a nice song too. I personally believe that part of the refrain was nicked (or maybe bought) for one of Whitney's early hits.

I would say: "I am lonely and I am saying that the sun doesn't shine!"

"Streets of London".
I remember it by Ralph McTell, but know there were loads of others.
