Earth

Words and music by 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 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
