Streets of London Ralph McTell Аккорды, тексты песен, видео.

Have you seen the old man, in the closed-down market

picking up the papers, with his worn-out shoes?

In his eyes you see no pride, and held loosely by his side

yesterday's papers, telling yesterday's news

So how can you tell me, you're lo - ne - ly

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 gal, 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:

So how can you tell me, you're lo - ne - ly

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

VERSE:

And in the all-night cafe, at a quarter past eleven

some old man sitting there, all on his own

Looking at the world, over the rim of his tea-cup

Each day lasts an hour, then he wanders home alone

CHORUS:

So how can you tell me, you're lo - ne - ly

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

VERSE:

And have you seen the old man, outside the seaman's mission?

His memory's fading, with those medal ribbons that he wears

And in our winter city, the rain cries little pity

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

CHORUS:

So how can you tell me, you're lo - ne - ly

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
