Elderly Woman behind the counter in a small town

I seem to recognize your face
Haunting familiar cant seem to place it
Cannot find a 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 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...away...

A lovely Pearl Jam number with beautiful guitar and lyrics!
