When In Rome Lyrics - Why Should The Fire Die? - Nickel Creek

Where can a sick man go 

When he can't choke down the medicine the old doc knows 

A specialist came to town 

But he stays at home 

Saying no one knows so I don't 

Honey when in Rome 

Where can a teacher go 

Wherever she thinks people need the things she knows 

Hey those books you gave us look good on the shelves at home 

And they'll burn warm in the fireplace teacher 

When in Rome 

Grab a blanket sister 

We'll make smoke signals 

Bring in some new blood 

It feels like we're alone 

Grab a blanket brother 

So we don't catch cold 

From one another 

I wonder if we're stuck in Rome 

Where can a dead man go? 

A question with an answer only dead men know 

But I'm gonna bet they never really feel at home 

It they spent a lifetime learning how to live in Rome
