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 Oh 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
