Lyrics

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 all the wild blue sky And 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 plough The question begs the answers Will 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't we bring back the old days again When all the world is green The moon is yellow silver Oh the things that summer brings It's a love you'd kill for When all the world is green He is balancing a diamond On the blade of grass The dew will settle on our grave When all the world is green Pretend that you owe me nothing When all the world is green Why can't we bring back the old days again When all the world is green
