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
