Hello in There

歌詞

Had an apartment in the city Me and Loretta liked living there It's been years since the kids have grown With lives of their own All left us at home John and Linda live in Omaha Joe is somewhere on the road We lost Davey in the Korean War I still don't know what for I guess it doesn't matter anymore Old trees grow stronger And old rivers grow wider every day But old people, they just grow lonesome Waiting for someone to say Say hello in there Say hello Me and Loretta, we don't talk much now She just sits there and at the back door stares While all the news, it just repeats itself Like some old forgotten dream That we've both seen Someday I'll go and call up Rudy We worked together in the factory But what do I tell him if asks what's new Say "Nothing, what's with you?" There's not much left to do Old trees grow stronger And old rivers grow wider every day But old people, they just grow lonesome Waiting for someone to say Say hello in there Say hello So if you're walking down the street one day And you spot some hollow ancient eyes Don't turn around as if you didn't care Or worse stop and stare Say hello in there Say hello Say hello
