Elderly Woman
Pearl Jam · Other Songs - Pearl Jam
Cannot find a 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 ones ever taken me
Hearts and thoughts they fade,faaaaade away
Hearts and thoughts they fade,faaaaade away
I swear i recognize your breath
Memories like fingerprints are slowly raising,
me, you wouldnt recall, for im not my former
Its hard when, your stuck upon the shelf
I changed by not changing at all, small town predicts my fate,
Perhaps thats what no one wants to see,
I just want to scream hello,
My god its been so long, never dreamed you'd return
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, fade away(3x)
