lyrics

COMFORT IN THE WISE

If you find comfort in the wise,
Take a look at my old home
Place your bets but don't feel too safe
In the land that no one owns

These towns are ghosts
They passed so long ago

So please give my love to Rosemary
And please say "Hi" to the family
Because there's so much between us, you see
That the wise will never know
No, the wise will never know

If you find comfort in the brave
Go down to the penitentiary
Experts will divert their eyes
In the land where nothing's free

These towns are ghosts
They passed so long ago

So please give my love to Rosemary
And please say "Hi" to the family
Because there's so much between us, you see
That the wise will never know
No, the wise will never know

The waves will crash upon the shore
Where no one lives or dies
The mother weeps, she hears the bells
She finds comfort in the wise

So please give my love to Rosemary
And please say "Hi" to the family
Because there's so much between us, you see
That the wise will never know
No, the wise will never know
