Elderly Woman Behind the 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
Hearts and thoughts they fade
fade away
I swear I recognize your breath
Memories, like fingerprints
are slowly raising.
Me you wouldn't 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, it's 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
away
Hearts and thoughts they fade
away
Hearts and thoughts they fade
fade away
Hearts and thoughts they fade
fade away
