Lyrics for All The World Is Green
I fell into the ocean And you became my wife I risked it all against the sea To have a better life Marie you are the wild blue sky Men do foolish things You turn kings into beggars Beggars into kings Pretend that you owe me nothing And all the world is green We can bring back the old days again When all the world is green The face forgives the mirror The worm forgives the plow The questions begs the answer Can you forgive me somehow? Maybe when our story's over We'll go where it's always spring The band is playing our song again All the world is green Pretend that you owe me nothing And all the world is green Can we bring back the old days again When all the world is green Moon is yellow silver Oh, the things that summer brings It's a love you'd kill for And all the world is green He's balancing a diamond On a blade of grass The dew will settle on our graves When all the world is green Pretend that you owe me nothing And all the world is green We can bring back the old days again When all the world is green He's balancing a diamond On a blade of grass The dew will settle on our graves When all the world is green
