All the World Is Green Lyrics

Lyric discussion by EveMusic 

Cover art for All the World Is Green lyrics by Tom Waits

Beautiful song, one of my favourite.... "He is balancing a diamond On a blade of grass The dew will settle on our graves When all the world is green" I wonder, it could be "...balancing a diamond on a blade of grass.." sounds like he is trying to do something that seems impossible. Do you think it's like trying to keep balace in a relationship or maybe in life :? "The dew will settle on our graves When all the world is green"... and at the end we all die but the world will keep turning..
