Hello In There

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 alone



John 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 anymore



(chorus)

You 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



Me and loretta we don't talk much more

She sits and stares

Through the backdoor screen

And all the news just repeats itself

Like some forgotten dream

That we'd both seen



Someday i'll go and call up rudy

We worked together

At a factory

But what do i sya?

If he asks what's new?

Nothing what's with you?

Nothing much to do



(chorus)



If 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 hello



(chorus)
