29. The streets of London

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 and held loosely by his side
Yesterday’s paper telling yesterday’ news.
Together
So how can you tell me you’re lonely,
And say for you the sun don’t shine?
Oh, 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.
And 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
Carriyng her home in two carrier bags.

together
So how can you tell me you’re lonely,
And say for you the sun don’t shine?
Oh, 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.
And in the all-night café at a quarter past eleven
Same old man sitting there on his own.
Looking at the world over the rim of his tea cup,
Each tea lasts an hour and he wanders home alone.
together
……………………….
And have you seen the old man outside the seamen’s mission,
Memories fading with the medal ribbons that he wears?
And in our winter city the rain cries a little pity
For one more forgotten hero and a word that doesn’t care.

Well
done!!!
