"All The World Is Green" lyrics
"All The World Is Green"
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, 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
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 and all the world is green
He is 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 is balancing a diamond on a blade of grass
The dew will settle on our graves when all the world is green

So innocent, so full of need
There were times we were friends but times I was so cruel
Each night I'd ask for you to watch me as I sleep
I was so afraid of the night...
Lambchop - "If Not I'll Just Die" Don't know what the fuck they talk about
Maybe blowing kisses, blowing names
And really, what difference does it make?

But the strings sound good
Maybe add some...
Leonard Cohen - "On The Level" I knew that it was wrong
I didn't have a doubt
I was dying to get back home
And you were starting out
I said I'd best be moving on
You said, we have all day
You smiled at me like I was young
It took...
Patti Smith - "Changing Of The Guards" Sixteen years
Sixteen banners united over the field
Where the good shepherd grieves
Desperate men, desperate women divided
Spreading their wings 'neath falling leaves.
Fortune calls
I stepped forth...
Morphine - "The Night" You're the night, Lilah
A little girl lost in the woods
You're a folktale
The unexplainable
You're a bedtime story
The one that keeps the curtains closed
I hope you're waiting for me
'Cause I can't...
