Here’s a great love song from the Master of Lyrics, Tom Waites. and a visually artistic video to enhance his glorious words
“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’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

Me too, at least ever since my late 20’s. I was working as a waitress in a cocktail bar (when I found him lol). When we’d do the side work after closing they put his song Closing Time on. I was hooked even though it was considered vintage back then. Have you seen the Cibelle homage to him? Green Grass (I sense a theme…) https://youtu.be/0yPMdWxSxUg
