Streets Of London (исполнитель: Ralph McTell)
Have you seen the old man In the closed-down market taking out the papers, with his worn out shoes? In his eyes you see no pride hands held loosely by his side Yesterday's paper telling yesterday's news [bad word] So how can you tell me that you're lonely, say for you that the sun don't shine and Let me take you by the hand 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 rag She's no time for talking she just keeps right on walking Carrying her home in two carrier bags. [bad word] 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 tea-cup, and each tea last an hour, And he wanders home alone [bad word] And have you seen the old man Outside the Seaman's Mission Memory fading with the medal ribbon that he wears And in our winter city The rain cried a little pity one more forgotten hero And the world that doesn't care [bad word]
