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 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. Wonderful and sad
How can you be so [wonderful]?
