Q&A
Elderly Woman Behind The Counter In A Small Town Lyrics
(Pearl Jam cover)
I seem to recognize your face
Haunting, familiar, but
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 seem to recognize your breath
Memories like fingerprints
They 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 change 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
Fade away
Hearts and thoughts they fade
Fade away
Haunting, familiar, but
I can't seem to place it
Cannot find the candle of thought
To light your name
Lifetimes are catching up with me
I wish I'd seen the place
But no one's ever taken me
Fade away
Hearts and thoughts they fade
Fade away
Memories like fingerprints
They are slowly raising
Me, you wouldn't recall
For I'm not my former
It's hard when you're stuck upon the shelf
Small town predicts my fate
Perhaps that's what no one wants to see
My god it's been so long
Never dreamed you'd return
But now here you are
And here I am
Fade away
Hearts and thoughts they fade
Fade away
