STREETS OF LONDON Blackmore's Nights

^CHave you^G seen t^Amhe old^Em man in the closed down market, ^FKicki^Cng ou^Dt the ^Gpapers with his worn out shoes? ^CIn his e^Gyes y^Amou see no pri^Emde. Hand held loosely by his side, ^FYesterda^Cy's pape^Gr telling ye^Csterday's news.

CHORUS

So h^Fow can you ^Ctell me ^Gyou'^Cre lonely, ^D And you sa^Gy for you that the sun don't shine? ^CLet me take you ^Gby the hand and ^Amlead you through the s^Emtreets of London, ^FI'll show you s^Comething that'll ma^Gke you change your ^Cmind.

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. CHORUS 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 tea cup, Each tea lasts a hour, then he wanders home alone. CHORUS Have you seen the old man outside the seamen's mission? Memory fading with the medal ribbons that he wears. In this lonesome city the rain cries a little pity, For one more forgotten hero in a world that doesn't care. CHORUS
