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 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 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
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 us birth
All the places I have seen
Remind me there is none and get back to the rolling hills of earth.
