Hello In There Lyrics - Joan Baez

We had an apartment in the city 

Me and Loretta liked living there 

It's been years since the kids have grown 

A lives of their own 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 

Ya' know that old trees just grow stronger 

Old rivers grow wilder every day 

But old people just grow lonesome 

Waiting for someone to say, "Hello in there, hello"

NEW SONG: Blink-182 - 'Happy Days' Lyrics 

Me and Loretta, we don't talk much more 

She sits and stares through the back door screen 

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 

What will I tell him if he asks, "What's new?" 

"Nothing, what's with you? Nothing much to do" 

Ya' know that old trees just grow stronger 

Rivers grow wilder every day 

But 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 'em by and stare 

Like you didn't care, say, "Hello in there, hello" 

Say, "Hello in there, hello"
