|
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 |
|
(chorus) |
|
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 backdoor 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 sya? |
|
If he asks what's new? |
|
Nothing what's with you? |
|
Nothing much to do |
|
(chorus) |
|
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 |
|
(chorus) |
