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
