All The World Is Green lyrics

Artist  : Tom Waits 
Song : All The World Is Green
 


I fell into the ocean
When you became my
wife
I risked it all against the sea
To
have a better life
Marie you're the wild blue
sky
And men do foolish things
You turn
kings into beggars
And beggars into
kings
Pretend that you owe me nothing
And
all the world is green
We can bring back the
old days again
And 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
And 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
And all the world is green
The moon
is yellow silver
On the things that summer
brings
It's a love you'd kill for
And all
the world is green
He is balancing a
diamond
On a blade of grass
The dew will
settle on our grave
When all the world is
green
