SINGER: Queen

SONG:Earth

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
