"All The World Is Green" by Tom Waits from the album 'Blood Money'
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 grave
When all the world is green

"The Worm Forgives the Plow".. is from a poem by William Blake. Just shows how well read and deep Mr. Waits truly is!

@@Viridisdaemonis in one of his songs he has a line "before the ocean was blue" and in ancient Greece they didn't have a specific word for blue. Tom waits uses a lot of literature in his works.

@sophiatalksmusic3588 Месяц назад

The Blood Money album goes to an avant-garde adaptation of the play "Woyzeck" (which was also adapted into an opera by Alban Berg). In the play, this song is a duet between Woyzeck and his wife Marie, who has cheated on him. I haven't seen the play (the only footage I've seen of it are clips on a promo video with Tom Waits and Robert Wilson, the director), but I have seen the Berg opera, and if I had to guess, this song may be portraying Woyzeck and Marie's attempt to reconcile with one another; in the Berg opera, there's a scene where Marie prays for forgiveness from God, so I'd imagine this scene may rework that plot point to emphasize their relationship more. Woyzeck is driven mad, not only from the affair, but also by constant humiliation from a military captain and experiments by his doctor, and ends up killing Marie.
