We had an apartment in the city
And me and Loretta liked living there
I'd bee years since the kids had grown
A life of their own
And left us alone
John and Linda live in Omaha
And Joe is somewhere on the road
We lost Davy in the Korean War
I still don't know what for
Don't matter anymore

You know, that old trees just grow stronger
And old rivers grow wilder everyday
Old people just grow lonesome
Waiting for someone to say
Hello in there
Hello

Me and Loretta, we don't talk much more
She sits and stares thru 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 when he asks "What's new?"?
Nothing, what's with you?
Nothing much to do

You know, that old trees just grow stronger
And old rivers grow wilder everyday
Old people just grow lonesome
Waiting for someone to say
Hello in there
Hello

So if you're walking down the street sometime
And spot some hollow ancient eyes
Please don't just pass them by and stare
As if you didn't care
Say hello in there
Hello


Hello In There --- by John Prine

it just seems that robtelee and I have an age fixation lately  :)
thought this was appropriate.
