emmylou harris - hello in there lyrics
[verse 1]
we had an apartment in the city
me and loretta like living there
well, it’s been years since the kids have grown
a life of their own, left us alone
[verse 2]
john and linda live in omaha
and joe is somewhere on the road
we lost davy in the korean war
still don’t know what for, don’t matter anymore
[chorus]
you know that old trees just grow stronger
and old rivers grow wilder every day
but old people just grow lonesome
waiting for someone to say, “h+llo in there, h+llo”
[verse 3]
me and loretta, we don’t talk much anymore
she sits and stares through the backdoor screen
and all the news just repeats itself
like some forgotten dream that we’ve both seen
[verse 4]
someday i’ll go and call up rudy
we worked together at the factory
but what could i say if he asks “what’s new?”
“nothing, what’s with you? nothing much to do”
[chorus]
you know that old trees just grow stronger
and old rivers wilder every day
old people just grow lonesome
waiting for someone to say, “h+llo in there”
[verse 5]
so if you’re walking down the street sometime
and spot some hollow ancient eyes
please don’t just pass ’em by and stare
as if you didn’t care, say, “h+llo in there, h+llo”
