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 
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
