 Streets of London

 Have you seen the old man 

In the closed-down * ______ 
taking out the papers, 
with his worn out shoes? 
In his eyes you see no pride 
hands held loosely by his side 
Yesterday's paper telling ________ ______ _ 

Chorus: So how can you tell me that you're lonely, 
And say for you that the sun don't shine and
Let me take you by the hand and lead you through ________________________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 rag
She's no time for talking 
she just keeps right on __________ 
Carrying her home in two carrier _______. 

Chorus
In the ________________

At a quarter past eleven, 
Same old man sitting there on his own 
Looking at the world 
Over the rim of his ______, 
and each tea last an hour,
And he wanders home alone 

Chorus

And have you seen the old man 
Outside the Seaman's Mission* 
Memory fading* with the __________ that he wears 
And in our winter city 
_________ cried a little pity 
A one more ____________ 
And the world that doesn't care* 

Closed-down – закрытый

Change your mind – изменить мнение

Seamans mission – бар для моряков

Memory fading – ухудшающаяся память

Doesn’t care – все равно
