Elderly Woman Behind The Counter In A Small Town

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
