Wonderful World
David Sylvian
Itâ??s a wonderful world
And you take and you give
And the sun fills the sky
In the space where you live
Itâ??s a day full of dreams
Itâ??s a dream of a day
And the joy that it brings
Nearly sweeps her away
Itâ??s a wonderful world
As the buildings fall down
And you quicken your step
â??Til your feet leave the ground
And youâ??re soaring above
All the sorrow below
And youâ??re falling in love
With those you donâ??t know
And your heart feels so wide
And your heart fills so strong
It was never a place
That you felt you belonged
Itâ??s a wonderful world
Full of wonderful things
And the people fall down
And abandon their dreams
(I hear him, heâ??s talking out loud
Sometimes he whistles while walking
How could he know any better?
I weep for him, I weep for him now)
Itâ??s a wonderful world
Itâ??s a real crying shame
'Cause sheâ??s hurting herself
In a violent way
And thereâ??s people she knows
That wonâ??t even try
And theyâ??re trapped in their lives
Feeling terrified
And itâ??s in times like these
That she promised to call
But the scale of our love
Is diminished and small
Itâ??s a wonderful world
And she doesnâ??t know why
She wakes up each day
And continues to cry
(Heâ??s sleeping his troubles away
Heâ??s finding it too hard to bear
Iâ??m with him every step of the way
I weep for him, I weep for him now)
Itâ??s a wonderful world
And you take and you give
And the sun fills the sky
In the space where you live
