We had an apartment in the city
Me and loretta liked living there
Well its been years since the kids 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 dont know what for
Dont 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 dont talk much more
She sits and stares
Through the backdoor screen
And all the news just repeats itself
Like some forgotten dream
That wed both seen
Someday Ill go and call up rudy
We worked together
At a factory
But what do I sya?
If he asks whats new?
Nothing whats with you?
Nothing much to do
(chorus)
If youre out walking
Down the streets of town
And spot some hollow ancient eyes
Well please just dont
Pass them by and stare
As if you didnt care
Say hello in there hello
(chorus)
