Hello In There Lyrics - John Mcdermott

We had an apartment in the city 

Me and Loretta liked living there 

Well it's been years since the kid's have grown 

A life of their own and left us alone 

John and Linda lived in Omaha 

And Joe is somewhere on the road 

And we lost Davey in the Korean war 

And I still don't know what for 

Don't matter anymore 

You know that old trees just grow stronger 

And old rivers grow wider everyday 

And 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 through the back door screen 

And all the news just repeats itself 

Like some forgotten dream, that we'd both seen 

Someday I'll go and call up Rudy 

We worked together at a factory 

But what do I say? 

If 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 wider everyday 

And old people just grow lonesome 

Waiting for someone to say 

Hello in there, hello 

If you're out walking down the streets of town 

And spot some hollow ancient eyes 

Well please just don't pass them by and stare 

As if you didn't care 

Say hello in there, hello 

You know that old trees just grow stronger 

And old rivers grow wider everyday 

And old people just grow lonesome 

Waiting for someone to say 

Hello in there, hello
