Testo Hello in there R.E.M.

Hello in there

We had an apartment in the city
Me and
Loretta liked living there
It'd been years since the kids had grown
A life of their own
All left us alone
Joe and
Linda live in
Omaha
And
Joey is somewhere on the road
We lost
John in the
Korean
War
I still don't know what for, but it doesn't matter anymore
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"
Me and
Loretta, we don't talk much now
She just sits staring at the back door screen
While the news just repeats itself
Like some forgotten dream that we've both seen
Some day
I'll go and call up
Howdy
We worked together in the factory
But what do
I tell him when he asks, "
What's new?"
Saying "
Nothing, what's with you?"
There's 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"
So if you're walking down the street one day
And spot some hollow, ancient eyes
Don't turn around and think you didn't care
Or worse stop and stare to say "
Hello in there"
Say "
Hello"
Say, say "
Hello"
Say, say "
Hello"
Say "
Hello"
