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
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'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 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.
