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 far away
Underneath a sun I've never seen

'Cause 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
Or 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 cool green rolling hills of Earth

'Cause I have seen many worlds, for what it's worth
But I'll never see again the planet Earth, my Earth
