[00:01.30]We had an apartment in the city,
[00:05.95]Me and Loretta liked living there.
[00:10.94]It's been years since the kids had grown,
[00:16.48]A life of their own left us alone.
[00:21.83]John and Linda live in Omaha,
[00:26.91]Joe is somewhere on the road.
[00:32.16]We lost Davy in the Korean war,
[00:36.52]Still don't know what for, don't matter anymore.
[00:41.35]
[00:41.46]Ya' know old trees just grow stronger,
[00:47.00]Old rivers grow wilder ev'ry day.
[00:52.32]But old people they just grow lonesome
[00:56.74]Waiting for someone to say, "Hello in there, hello."
[01:05.70]
[01:07.76]Me and Loretta, we don't talk much now.
[01:12.41]She sits and stares through at back door screen.
[01:18.17]All the news just repeats itself
[01:21.63]Like some forgotten dream that we've both seen.
[01:27.73]Someday I'll go and call up Rudy,
[01:32.67]We worked together at the factory.
[01:37.31]What'd I tell him if he asks "What's new?"
[01:42.22]"Nothing, what's with you? Nothing much to do."
[01:47.37]
[01:47.70]Ya' know old trees just grow stronger,
[01:51.78]Rivers grow wilder ev'ry day.
[01:57.47]But old people they just grow lonesome
[02:02.21]Waiting for someone to say, "Hello in there, hello."
[02:10.67]
[02:28.27]So if you're walking down the street sometime
[02:33.38]Spot some hollow ancient eyes,
[02:38.53]Please don't pass 'em by and stare
[02:42.71]Like you didn't care, say "Hello in there, hello,"
[02:50.32]Say "Hello in there, hello."
[02:57.52]
