Earth
(Tim Staffell)

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 a sun I've never seen

'Cos I have seen many worlds for what it's worth
But I will never see again the planet Earth
My Earth

I might be chasing waves of light out toward the rim
where stars are sparse and the cold of space seeps in
but 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 will never see again the planet Earth
My Earth

I have seen many worlds for what it's worth
But I will 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 green living 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.
