Pearl Jam - Elderly Woman Behind The Counter In A Small Town Lyrics
Pearl Jam Elderly Woman Behind The Counter In A Small Town Lyrics Songwriters: Gossard, Stone C.; Mccready, Michael David; Abbruzzese, Dave; Ament, Jeffrey Allen; Vedder, Eddie Jerome;
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
Well, my God it's been too long
Never dreamed You'd return
But now here You are and here I am
