Have you seen the old gal, 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 |

And in the all-night cafe, at a quarter past eleven |
|
|

Some old man sitting there, all on his own |

Looking at the world, over the rim of his tea-cup |

Each day lasts an hour, then he wanders home alone |

And have you seen the old man, outside the seaman's mission? |

His memory's fading, with those medal ribbons that he wears |

And in our winter city, the rain cries little pity |

For one more forgotten hero, and a world that doesn't care |
