Tim Staffell Earth
I might be at a table, and suddenly I'll catch
A fleeting vision of those crystal seas
Or I might be standing in a crowded dockyard far away
Underneath a sun I've never seen
‘Cause I've seen many worlds but what's it worth?
If I never see again planet Earth
I might be chasing waves of light, out beyond the rim
Where the stars are sparse and the cold of space seeps in
Or I might be in a bar-room drinking methylated gin
Thinkin' of the places I have been
‘Cause I've seen many worlds but what's it worth?
If I never see again that old planet Earth
I've seen many worlds but what's it worth?
If I never see again that old planet Earth
Cast adrift amongst the stars I float from sun to sun
Dreamin' of the world that gave us birth
All the places I have seen remind me there is none
To get back to the rolling hills of Earth
‘Cause I've seen many worlds but what's it worth?
If I never see again the planet Earth
