I like this song's melody and lyrics。
it just like a lonely story,but not sad,only lonely。

Streets of London --by Ralph McTell

Have you seen the old man in the closed-down market
Kicking up the paper with his worn out shoes?
In his eyes you see no pride
Hand held loosely at 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 (*)

In the all night cafe at a quarter past eleven
Same old man is sitting there on his own
Looking at the world over the rim of his tea-cup
Each tea lasts an hour
Then he wanders home alone (*)

Have you seen the old man outside the Seaman'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 a world that doesn't care


你可曾看過那個在已收攤的市場裡的老人
用他磨破的鞋子踢著報紙
在他的眼裡你看不到尊嚴
手無力的垂在兩旁
昨日的報紙述說著昨日的新聞

所以,你怎能還告訴我說你很孤獨
說陽光不再為你照耀?
讓我牽著你的手,帶你穿越過倫敦的街道
我要讓你看看一些事情,改變你的想法

你可曾看過那個走過倫敦街頭的老太太
她的髮上沾滿泥沙,衣服破爛不堪
她沒有時間聊天
只是不停的走著
用兩只購物袋攜帶著她的家

十一點十五分,在一家通宵營業的咖啡館
同一個老人孤獨的坐著
他越過杯緣,注視著這個世界
每杯茶都喝上一個鐘頭
然後,獨自亂晃走回家去

你可曾看過在海軍士兵之家外面的那個老人
回憶隨著他披在身上的勳章綵帶逐漸褪色
在我們的冬日城市裡,雨水哭喊著一絲憐憫
為又一個被遺忘的英雄
還有一個漠不關心的世界
