[00:29.49]We had an apartment in the city,
[00:32.46]Me and loretta liked living there.
[00:39.24]Well, it'd been years since the kids had grown,
[00:46.92]A life of their own left us alone.
[00:57.90]John and linda live in omaha,
[01:05.10]And joe is somewhere on the road.
[01:12.30]We lost davy in the korean war,
[01:17.16]And i still don't know what for, don't matter anymore.
[01:26.43]Chorus:
[01:26.58]Ya' know that old trees just grow stronger,
[01:32.34]And old rivers grow wilder ev'ry day.
[01:41.40]Old people just grow lonesome
[01:45.93]Waiting for someone to say, "hello in there, hello."
[01:51.78]Me and loretta, we don't talk much more,
[02:34.38]She sits and stares through the back door screen.
[02:42.42]And all the news just repeats itself
[02:46.71]Like some forgotten dream that we've both seen.
[02:55.80]Someday i'll go and call up rudy,
[03:02.97]We worked together at the factory.
[03:10.23]But what could i say if asks "what's new?"
[03:13.71]"nothing, what's with you? nothing much to do."
[03:30.84]Repeat chorus:
[03:56.22]So if you're walking down the street sometime
[04:03.36]And spot some hollow ancient eyes,
[04:10.65]Please don't just pass 'em by and stare
[04:16.41]As if you didn't care, say, "hello in there, hello."
