Elderly Woman Behind A Counter in A Small Town lyrics

I seem to recognize your face

Haunting, familiar yet, I can't seem to place it

Cannot find the candle of thought to light your name

Lifetimes are catching up with me

All these changes taking place, I wish I'd seen the place

But no one's ever taken me

Hearts and thoughts they fade, fade away... (2x)

I swear I recognize your breath

Memories like fingerprints are slowly raising

me, you wouldnt recall, for I'm not my former

It's hard when you're stuck upon the shelf

I changed by not changing at all, small town predicts my fate

Perhaps that's what no one wants to see

I just want to scream...hello...

My god its been so long, never dreamed you'd return

But now here you are, and here I am

Hearts and thoughts they fade...away...

Hearts and thoughts they fade, fade away... (2x)

Hearts and thoughts they fade...fade away...

Hearts and thoughts they fade, fade away... (3x)

Hearts and thoughts they fade...
