I fell into the ocean
When 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
And 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
And 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?
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'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.
