Lyrics
It's such a pretty planet
Coming back from the moon
It's like seeing your old lover
Walk into a room
And it feels like going home
It feels as though you've flown
A million miles
There's an earth out tonight
Shining big and bright
Blue and green and white
In a velvet sky
And something in this earthlight
Makes me cry
I came out here in '92
To have a look around
And it took a while before I felt
My feet on solid ground
The pay was really good
I never thought I would
Be going home
There's an earth out tonight
Shining big and bright
Blue and green and white
In a velvet sky
And something in this earthlight
Makes me cry
It's not so loud
It's not so crowded here
As it is back home
Some men never have a chance
To be alone
And I thought I would forget her
If I only got away
And I never thought this love of mine
Was really gonna stay
Now I'm staring at the world
Where I know my girl
Must be laughing
And there's an earth out tonight
Shining big and bright
Blue and green and white
In a velvet sky
And something in this earthlight
Makes me cry
And something in this earthlight
Makes me cry
It makes me cry
