Hello In There Lyrics

We had an apartment in the city
Me and Loretta liked living there
Well it's been years since the kid's have grown
A life of their own and left us aloneJohn and Linda lived in Omaha
And Joe is somewhere on the road
And we lost Davey in the Korean war
And I still don't know what for
Don't matter anymoreYou know that old trees just grow stronger
And old rivers grow wider everyday
And old people just grow lonesome
Waiting for someone to say
Hello in there, helloMe and Loretta we don't talk much more
She sits and stares through the back door screen
And all the news just repeats itself
Like some forgotten dream, that we'd both seenSomeday I'll go and call up Rudy
We worked together at a factory
But what do I say?
If he asks what's new?

Nothing what's with you?
Nothing much to doYou know that old trees just grow stronger
And old rivers grow wider everyday
And old people just grow lonesome
Waiting for someone to say
Hello in there, helloIf you're out walking down the streets of town
And spot some hollow ancient eyes
Well please just don't pass them by and stare
As if you didn't care
Say hello in there, helloYou know that old trees just grow stronger
And old rivers grow wider everyday
And old people just grow lonesome
Waiting for someone to say
Hello in there, hello
