Wonderful Life Lyrics - Nick Cave & The Bad Seed

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
