Earth lyrics

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

Beneath 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 grim

Where stars are sparse

And the cold of space seeps in

But I might be in a barroom

Drinking menthylated gin

And thinking of 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



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.
