Stipe singing during the 1989 tour [oval shaping].

We had an apartment in the city
Me and Loretta liked living there
It's been years since the kids have grown
A life of their own
And all left us alone

John and Linda live in Omaha
And Joe is somewhere on the road
We lost Davey in the Korean War
I still don't know what for
Guess it doesn't matter anymore

Chorus: You know that old trees just grow stronger
And old rivers grow wilder every day
Old people, they just grow lonesome
Waiting for someone to say, "Hello In There"
Say Hello ...

Me and Loretta, we don't talk much now
She just sits there and stares through the back door screen
And all the news just repeats itself
Like some forgotten dream
That we've both seen
Someday I'll go and call up Rudy
We worked together at the factory
But what do I tell him when he asks, "What's New?"
"Nothing, what's with you"
"Nothing, much to do"

Chorus

So if you're walking down the street sometime
And spot some hollow ancient eyes
Please don't just pass 'em buy and stare
As if you didn't care
Say, "Hello In There"
Say hello, hello, hello, hello
Say hello ....
