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 its been to 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…
hearts and thoughts they fade, fade away…
hearts and thoughts they fade…
