Yup, Pearl Jam song, here it is...
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... (2x)
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... (2x)
Hearts and thoughts they fade...away...
Hearts and thoughts they fade, fade away... (3x)
Hearts and thoughts they fade...
Hope this helps....~Lori

Yep, it IS Pearl Jam, and it's called Elderly Woman Behind the COunter in
a Small Town.
The only rason I have it is that a wannabe member of the group which jams
at my house brought it along. We so far have resisted playing it, not
being PJ affionados, but here's the song and the chords he attached to it:

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 up on 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, it;s bgeen so long
Never dream you'd return
But now here you are...and here I am
Hearts and thoughts they fade away (repeat)
Everything has led to this moment. And yet you do not know the story,
except as it unfolds before you.
