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 far away
Underneath the sun I've never seen

'Cause I have seen many worlds
For what its 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 its worth
But I'll never see again the planet earth, my earth

I have seen many worlds
For what its 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

'Cause I have seen many worlds
For what its worth
But I'll never see again the planet earth, my earth
