Wonderful And Sad Lyrics - Hawksley Workman

I wish the telephone had not been invented 

Because I keep picking it up to say 

Stupid things to you 

The rain has stopped for now 

But I know it's not ended 

No sense in trying 

I cannot be protected 

No sense in worrying 

I can't be protected 

No sense in trying 

I cannot be protected 

Yeah 

Wonderful and sad 

How can you be so? 

Wonderful 

I wish that happiness could just be pretended 

The closest thing to that is 

A bottle of whiskey dear 

I'd write a letter home 

But I don't know where to send it 

No sense in trying 

I cannot be protected 

No sense in worrying 

I can't be protected 

No sense in trying 

I cannot be protected 

Yeah 

Wonderful and sad 

How can you be so? 

Wonderful 

Wonderful and sad 

How can you be so? 

Wonderful 

No sense in trying 

I cannot be protected 

No sense in worrying 

I can't be protected 

There never was 

And there never will be again 

Wonderful and sad 

How can you be so? 

Wonderful 

Wonderful and sad 

How can you be so? 

Wonderful
