Elderly Woman Behind the Counter in a Small Town

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
 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, 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
 Hearts and thoughts, they fade away
 Hearts and thoughts, they fade, fade away
 Hearts and thoughts, they fade, fade away
 Hearts and thoughts they fade, fade away
 Hearts and thoughts they fade
