Streets Of London (Live)

Streets Of London (Live) - 許冠傑 (Sam Hui)

Written by：Ralph Mc Tell

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 that 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 f 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.

So how can you tell me that 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 f london

I'll show you something to make you change your mind

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

So how can you tell me that 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 f london

I'll show you something to make you change your mind
