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
