Album: Nocturama
Year: 2003
Come in, babe, across these purple fields
The sun has sunk behind you across these purple fields
That idiot-boy in the corner is speaking deviated truths
Come on, admit it, babe, it's a wonderful life
If you can find it, if you can find it
If you can find it, it's a wonderful life that you bring
Ooh it's a wonderful thing
Speak our secret into your hands and hold it in between
Plunge your hands into the water and drown it in the sea
There will be nothing between us, baby, but the air that we breathe
Don't cry, it's a wonderful, wonderful life
If you can find it, if you can find it
If you can find it, it's a wonderful life that you bring
It's a wonderful, wonderful thing
We can build our dungeons in the air and sit and cry the blues
We can stomp across this world with nails hammered through our shoes
We can join that troubled chorus who criticise and accuse
It don't matter much, no we got nothing much to lose but this wonderful life
If you can find it, and when you find it
And when you find it, it's a wonderful life that you bring
It's a wonderful, wonderful, wonderful thing
Sometimes our secrets are all we've got with our lives we must defend
Sometimes the air between us, babe, is unbearably thin
Sometimes it's wise to lay down your gloves and just give in
Come in, come in, come in, come in to this wonderful life
If you can find it, and if you find it
It's a wonderful life that you bring
It's a wonderful, wonderful thing
It's a wonderful life, it's a wonderful life
It's a wonderful life, it's a wonderful life
It's a wonderful life, it's a wonderful life
