Hello In There
Bette Midler We had an apartment in the city. It's been years since the kids have grown, Me and my husband liked living there. a life of their own, left us alone. John and Linda live in Omaha. We lost Davy in the Korean war. I still don't know what for, don't matter any more. Joe is somewhere on the road. You know that old trees just grow stronger, and old rivers grow wilder every day, but old people, they just grow lonesome "Hello in there. Hello" waiting for someone to say, Me and my husband, we don't talk much anymore. He sits and stares through the backdoor screen. And all the news just repeats itself like some forgotten dream that we've both seen. Someday I'll go and call up Judy. We worked together at the factory. Say, "Nothing, what's with you? Ah, but what would I say when she asks what's new? Nothing much to do." You know that old trees just grow stronger, ah, but, but old people, they just grow lonesome and old rivers grow wilder every day, "Hello in There. Hello." waiting for someone to say, So if you're walking down the street sometime don't you pass them by and stare and you should spot some hollow ancient eyes, Say, "Hello in there. Helloas if you didn't care. |
