Elderly Woman Behind the Counter in a Small Town Songtext
von Pearl Jam

One, two, three, four, two, three

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
Oh-oh, 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
Our 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 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 (hello)

Well, my God, it′s been too long
Never dreamed you'd return
But now here you are, when here I am
Hearts and thoughts, they fade away
Away


Hearts and thoughts, they fade, fade (it′s all you, here we go, come on)
(Hearts and thoughts, they fade) fade away
Oh, hearts and thoughts, they fade, oh-oh, oh
Hearts and thoughts, they fade, fade away
Fade away, fade away, oh
