Tom Waits wrote this song (2002). Loved it ever since. Here is a version. Maybe little crooning. Maybe not. No AI. Done all instruments, vocals, mix and mastering. Thank you for listening !

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 are the wild blue sky,
and men do foolish things.
You turn kings into beggars
And beggars into kings.

Pretend 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’s playing our song again
And all the world is green

Pretend 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 moon is yellow silver
With the things that summer brings
It's a love you'd kill for
And all the world is green
He’s balancing a diamond
On a blade of grass
The dew will settle on our graves
And all the world is green

Pretend 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’s balancing a diamond
On a blade of grass
The dew will settle on our graves
And all the world is green
The dew will settle on our graves
And all the world,
all the world is green…

Your version is fresh and heart warming. You bring new life to classics like this and a little crooning is very welcome.

The vocal delivery reminds me a lot of Mark Knopfler. I really like the arrangement. Great work!

Shades of Bob Dylan's latter day vocal style for me. No bad thing! You've got the lived in sincerity so essential for this sort of song. Nice
