Song lyrics
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... (2x)

I swear I recognize your breath
Memories like fingerprints are slowly raising
Me you wouldnt recall, for I'm not my former
It's hard when, your 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... (2x)
Hearts and thoughts they fade...away...
Hearts and thoughts they fade, fade away... (3x)
Hearts and thoughts they fade...

Yeah this is a really great slower song. It really helps add variety to the album as well. Thats really why I love this song.

Hauntingly brilliant, like most soft PJ songs. Classic PJ. It will take 10 volumes to complete PJ's greatest hits. awesome!

this song is definately haunting, it's quite sad when you really listen to the lyrics, good song though for those very reasons

This song is one of my all time favorite PJ songs. At first I thought it was too slow, but once I saw them do it live it totally changed my mind. I've loved it ever since. The way Eddie brings the lyrics across is just indiscribable.
