Earth (Letra)
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
