[00:00.1]Streets of London (Live) - Ralph McTell
[00:00.2]Lyrics by：Mctell Ralph
[00:00.3]Composed by：Mctell Ralph
[00:04.21]Have you seen the old man
[00:06.71]In the closed-down market
[00:09.95]Kicking up the papers
[00:12.68]With his worn out shoes
[00:16.02]In his eyes you see no pride
[00:19.87]Hand held loosely at his side
[00:23.12]Yesterday's paper telling yesterday's news
[00:30.34]So how can you tell me you're lonely
[00:38.0]And say for you that the sun don't shine
[00:43.31]Let me take you by the hand and
[00:47.05]Lead you through the streets of London
[00:50.72]I'll show you something to make you change your mind
[00:58.41]Have you seen the old girl
[01:01.43]And she walks the streets of London
[01:05.38]Dirt in her hair and her clothes in rags
[01:11.85]She's no time for talking
[01:14.45]She just keeps right on walking
[01:18.51]Carrying her home in two carrier bags
[01:24.94]So how can you tell me you're lonely
[01:32.630005]And say for you that the sun don't shine
[01:38.05]Let me take you by the hand and
[01:41.740005]Lead you through the streets of London
[01:45.630005]I'll show you something to make you change your mind
[01:52.490005]In the all night cafe
[01:54.67]At a quarter past eleven
[01:57.15]Same old man sitting there on his own
[02:01.38]Looking at the world
[02:03.25]Over the rim of his tea cup
[02:06.41]Each tea lasts an hour
[02:08.67]And he wanders home alone
[02:12.36]So how can you tell me you're lonely
[02:19.98]And say for you that the sun don't shine
[02:25.47]Let me take you by the hand and
[02:29.12]Lead you through the streets of London
[02:33.1]I'll show you something to make you change your mind
[02:40.83]Have you seen the old man
[02:43.73]Outside the Seaman's Mission
[02:47.26]Memory fading with the medal ribbons that he wears
[02:53.62]And in our winter city
[02:56.57]The rain cries a little pity
[03:00.5]For one more forgotten hero
[03:04.08]And a world that doesn't care
[03:08.32]So how can you tell me you're lonely
[03:16.65]And say for you that the sun don't shine
[03:22.2]Let me take you by the hand and
[03:25.99]Lead you through the streets of London
[03:29.94]I'll show you something to make you change your mind
[03:37.5]I'll show you something to make you change your mind
