Streets Of London by Ralph McTell

Have you seen the old man
In the closed (1)________ market
Kicking up the papers with his worn out shoes
In his eyes you see no pride
Hand (2)________ loosely at his side
Yesterday's (3)__________ 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 (4)________ you through the streets of London
I'll show you something
To (5)________ you change (6)________ 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 (7)__________ right on walking
Carrying her home in two (8)______________ 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 (9)______________ the streets of London
I'll show you something
To make you change (10)________ mind

In the all (11)__________ cafe at a (12)______________ past eleven
Same old man sitting (13)__________ on his own
Looking at the world over the rim of his tea cup
And each tea (14)__________ an hour
And 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 hand
And lead you through the streets of London
I'll show you something
To make you change your mind

Have you (15)________ the old man
Outside the seaman's mission
Memory fading with
The (16)__________ ribbons (17)________ he wears
And in our winter city the rain cries a (18)____________ pity
For one (19)________ forgotten hero
And a world that doesn't care
...
So how can you (20)________ me you're lonely
And say for you that the sun don't shine
Let me (21)________ you by the hand
And lead you through the streets of London
I'll (22)________ you something
To make you (23)____________ your mind
...
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
