John McDermott - Hello In There video free download

Photo taken by me :)

-Lyrics-

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

It 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 in 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»
