we’ve lived in this street now for fifty years | |
me and Billy liked to live in here | |
it’s been years since the kids have grown | |
all have lives of their own | |
left us alone | |
John and Linda live in America | |
Joseph is somewhere on the road | |
we lost Davie in the Irish war | |
still don’t know what for | |
doesn’t matter any more | |
old trees grow stronger | |
old rivers grow wilder every day | |
but old people, they just grow lonesome | |
waiting for someone to say | |
say “hello in there,” say “hello” | |
say “hello, hello” | |
me and Billy we don’t talk much now | |
he just sits staring at the tv screen | |
oh and the news it just repeats itself | |
like some forgotten dream | |
that we’ve both seen | |
maybe someday I’ll phone up my old friend Madge | |
we worked together at the laundromat | |
what do I tell her when she asks “What’s new?”, | |
say “Nothing, what’s with you? | |
Not much left to do” | |
old trees grow stronger | |
and old rivers grow wilder every day | |
but old people they just grow lonesome | |
waiting for someone to say | |
say “hello in there,” say “hello” | |
say “hello” | |
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” | |
say “hello” | |
just say “hello” | |
just say “hello” | |
just say “hello” | |
just say “hello” |
