We had an apartment in the city,
Me and my wife liked living there.
17 yearsnow since the been gone
A life of their own left us alone.
John and Linda live in Omaha,
And Joe is somewhere on the road.
We lost Davy in the Korean war,
And I still don't know what for, don't matter anymore.
Ya' know that old trees just grow stronger,
And old rivers grow wilder near the sea.
Old people just grow lonesome
Waiting for someone to say, Hello
in
there,
hello.
Me and wife, 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've both seen.
Someday I'll go and call up Rudy,
We worked together at the factory.
But what could I say if asks Whats new?"
"Nothing, whats
with
you?
Nothing
much
to
do.
Ya' know that old trees just grow stronger,
And old rivers grow wilder near the sea.
Old people just grow lonesome
Waiting for someone to say, Hello
in
there,
hello.
So if you're walking down the street sometime
see some hollow ancient eyes,
Please don't just pass 'em by and stare
As if you didn't care, say, Hello
in
there,
hello.
