Time no good Wisdom no good Patience no good To me anymore Now night has fallen on the stair Some things you do you can never repair Seems I'm always pretending Things aren't there when they are And the leaves are nearly off the trees And the traffic's thick past yellow windows And I'm lost inside the frozen headlights Thinking of you Time no good Wisdom no good Patience no good To me anymore And the trees are looking like bones And the afternoon's filled with storm and rain I'm staring out of this metal train Thinking of you And the trees are looking like bones And the afternoon's filled with storm and rain And I'm tangled up in memory's thorns No way through Time no good Wisdom no good Patience no good To me anymore Trees like bones, yellow windows Memories, thorns, oh and you Time no good Wisdom no good Patience no good To me anymore
