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
