Hello in There - Eddi Reader

作词：John Prine

作曲：John Prine

We've lived in this street now for fifty years

Me and Billy liked to live in here

It's been years since the kids have grown

All have lives of their own

Left us alone

John and Linda live in America

Joseph is somewhere on the road

We lost davie in the

Irish war

Still don't know what for

Doesn't matter any more

Old trees grow stronger

Old rivers grow wilder every day

But old people they just grow lonesome

Waiting for someone to say

Say hello in there say hello

Say hello

Hello

Me and Billy we don't talk much now

Na he na na

He just sits staring at the tv screen

Oh and the news it just repeats itself

Like some forgotten dream

That we've both seen

Maybe someday I'll phone up my old friend Madge

We worked together at the laundromat

What do I tell her when she asks what's new

Say nothing what's with you

Not much left to do

Old trees grow stronger

And old rivers grow wilder every day

But old people

They just grow lonesome

Waiting for someone to say

Say hello in there say hello

Say hello

Say hello

So if you're walking down the street one day

And you spot some hollow ancient eyes

Don't turn around as if you didn't care

Or worse stop and stare

Say hello in there

Say hello

Hello

Say hello

Say hello

Just say hello

Just say hello

Just say hello

Just say hello
