помнишь старика? он проходил закрытым рынком,

и пинал газету своим старым башмаком?

взгляд его погасший? и башмак, что просит каши?

старые газеты не жалеют ни о ком.

ты плачешься, что одиноко,

что солнца нет, что рветься нить?

дай мне руку. мы с тобой,

пройдем по улицам весь лондон,

чтобы ты смогла все это переоценить.

знаешь ли ты эту девочку-старушку 

с головой , обернутой тряпьем?

говорить ей некогда, она уходит в никуда,

пора чемоданов - и кров ее, и дом.

а в ночном кафе уже одиннадцать пятнадцать.

и сидит у стойки человек немолодой.

смотрит в мир, скучая за остывшей чашкой чая.

а потом один, как перст, он побредет домой. 

старенький вояка рядом с флотской богадельней.

память и , медали, ордена.

город зимний мрачен, и дождь картинно плачет.

но седой герой не нужен миру.

это настоящий перевод песни. не знаю, подойдет ли тебе. но все же.
