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
