Tom Waits - All The World Is Green 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 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 graves
When all the world is green

    The more I listen to this album, the more this feels like a sum-up of his whole career: Some songs sounding like the early waits, some sound scapes from rain dog days, some all new and different. So much creativity!

    And now: It Is Time for Another One, Tom!

    I heard this for first time today in the movie Divers Bell and the Butterfly. Loved it ! Song went well with scene.

  51. L.... ....

    I still think this is still one of the most beautiful songs ever written.

  52. C.... A....

    Lot's a different interpretations of what this song is about. Strange really since Tom Waits has said many times that it's about a cheating husband who realises how much he loves his wife after the fact. There have been questions over the years about whether this is autobiographical or not

  53. M.... P....

    I've never been happier to be named Marie! <3

    НИЩТЬ Я ЛЮБЛЮ ЕГО СЛУШАТЬ ,А РУСКИЕ УРОДЫ НИ ОДНОГО КОМЕНТА-СВОЛОЧИ -ГЛЮКОЗУ СЛУХАЮТ ИЛИ ЕБАСКОГО ,НЕ,ЛОЛИТУ-ЛОШАТЬ ЕБАНУ

    I'd be honored if some Tom Waits fans would check out my acoustic keyboard & vocal cover interpretation of THE HEART OF SATURDAY NIGHT on my channel in tribute to the boss. Live acoustic with no digital editing. Thanks and peace.

  58. A.... H....

    If you listen to the lyrics, Tom is obviously singing about marrying a deep one, bringing about the coming of Dagon and Cthulhu, and covering the world in green slimes and molds.

    the musician is above a certain level when it wrtes his own lyrics with great poetry and philosophy. when he sings with his soul. and keeps his productivity. doesnt care money and fame. then you now he is a true artist. a musician for art itself. when he is compared with. other "modern musicians" they are not even close to his shit singin

  87. M.... A....

    不要再让我双眼看到风景吧
    我会更久痛哭流涕
    不要再让我耳朵听到情人絮语吧
    我会痛恨另一只耳朵死亡
    这夜晚已经干涸,死亡
    我游荡至记忆深处
    荒草丛锯子一样划破我裸露的身体
    我不觉得疼痛的
    我假装认定这是迷惑,不需要分辨的
    消逝的颜色..
