Have you seen the old man
In the closed-down market
Kicking at the paper
With his worn out shoes
In his eyes you see no pride
And held loosely at his side
Yesterday's paper
Telling yesterday's news
 
Chorus:	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 talk'in
She keeps right on walk'in
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 an hour
And 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 our winter city
The rain cries a little pity
For one more forgotten hero
And the world that doesn't care

*Chorus*
