weâve lived in this street now for fifty years
me and Billy liked to live in here
itâs 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 donât know what for
doesnât 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 âhello in there,â say âhelloâ
say âhello, helloâ
me and Billy we donât talk much now
he just sits staring at the tv screen
oh and the news it just repeats itself
like some forgotten dream
that weâve both seen
maybe someday Iâll phone up my old friend Madge
we worked together at the laundromat
what do I tell her when she asks âWhatâs new?â,
say âNothing, whatâs with you?
Not much left to doâ
old trees grow stronger
and old rivers grow wilder every day
but old people they just grow lonesome
waiting for someone to say
say âhello in there,â say âhelloâ
say âhelloâ
say âhelloâ
so if youâre walking down the street one day
and you spot some hollow ancient eyes
donât turn around as if you didnât care
or, worse, stop and stare
say âhello in thereâ
say âhelloâ
say âhelloâ
say âhelloâ
just say âhelloâ
just say âhelloâ
just say âhelloâ
just say âhelloâ
