Memories like fingerprints


Cannot find the candle of thought to light your name

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 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...
