Lyrics Elderly Woman Behind the Counter In a Small Town (Live) - Pearl Jam

One, two, three, four

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
Yeah, 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
Oh, hearts and thoughts they fade, fade away

I swear, I recognize your breath
All memories like fingerprints, yeah, 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 changed by not changing at all
Small town predicts my fate
Perhaps that's what no one wants to see

Oh, I just want to scream, "I'm home"
Yeah, my God, it's been too long
Never dreamed you'd return
But now, here you are and here I am

Hearts and thoughts they fade away
Away, yeah

Hearts and thoughts they fade, fade away
Oh hearts and thoughts they fade, it's all you (fade away)
Hearts and thoughts they fade
Whoa-oh-oh, whoa-yeah-yeah
Hearts and thoughts they fade, fade away
