Old People

Found this song, well searched for it, actually, after Peggy Noonan mentioned it in the book I'm reading. I hadn't heard of it before. She referred to Bette Midler's version, so I searched for that, listened, cried, but then I wondered who wrote the song (John Prine) and found a video of him performing. Posting them both here. 

"Hello in There" 


Ow. 

Here's the songwriter's version.
