Wisdom Lyrics by David Gray

A Century Ends

1993

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
The traffic thick past yellow windows
And I'm waiting in 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 sitting here in this metal train
Thinking of you
And the trees are looking like bones
The afternoon filled with rain and storm
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
Memory's thorns, oh and you

Time no good
Wisdom no good
Patience no good
To me anymore

Time no good
Wisdom no good
Patience no good
To me anymore
