Earth

I might be at a table

And suddenly I'll catch

A fleeting vision of her crystal seas

Or I might be standing in a crowded dockyard faraway

Underneath the sun I've never seen

'Cos I have seen many worlds

For what it's worth

But I'll never see again the planet earth, my earth

I might be chasing waves of light

Out towards the rim

Where stars are sparse

And the cold of space seeps in

Or I might be in a bar room

Drinking methylated gin

And thinking of the places I have been

Yes, I have seen many worlds

For what it's worth

But I'll never see again the planet earth, my earth

I have seen many worlds

For what it's worth

But I'll never see again the planet earth, my earth

Cast adrift amongst the stars

I float from sun to sun

Dreaming of the world that gave me birth

All the places I have been

Remind me there is none

To match the cool green rolling hills of earth

'Cos I have seen many worlds

For what it's worth

But I'll never see again the planet earth, my earth
