The Streets Of London
Christy Moore

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 loosely at his side

Yesterdays paper telling yesterdays news

CHORUS

So how can you tell me you're lonely

And say for you that the sun dont shine

Let me take you by the hand and lead you through the streets of London

I'll show you something that will 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 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

CHORUS

Have you seen the old man, outside the seamans mission?

Memory fading with the medal ribbons that he wears

In our winter city the rain cries a little pity

For one more forgotton hero and a world that doesn't care

CHORUS
