letra de streets of london - live at the royal festival hall - mary hopkin

Loading...

(very much
this boy, come
he’s staying there, good lad
ah well, ralph kindly gave us permission to do this next song
um, he has sang it rather a lot and i’m sure you all know it
um, he said if i sang this one
he’d promise to sing “those were the days”
but i don’t know if he’ll do it
so anyway, um, this is called “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’ll see no pride
and held loosely by his side
yesterday’s paper, telling yesterday’s news

so how can you tell me 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 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 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, 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 of london
i’ll show you something to make you change your mind

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 teacup
each tea lasts an hour
then he wanders home alone

so how can you tell me 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 of london
i’ll show you something to make you change your mind

have you seen the old man outside the seamen’s mission
memory fading with the medal ribbons that he wears
in our winter city
the rain crys a little pity
for one more forgotten hero and a world that doesn’t care

so how can you tell me 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 of london
i’ll show you something to make you change your mind

(thank you very much)
