The Search for Earth - words and music by Tim Erskine
play mp3
Deep in space
between the suns
this globe of metal is my home
In silent flight
I hope to find
the blue world that I read of
in an ancient tome
In this part of the galaxy
stars are spare
space is vast
and life is rare
But I will not rest
until I find the Earth
Alone, I coast
My footsteps echo
through the tunnels of my ship
I spend endless hours
searching my charts
to put the sphere of blue
within my grip
In this part of the galaxy
there's no way back
Time has stopped
and space is black
But I will not rest
until I find the Earth
Dreaming, I lay on the shore of a blue sea –
an incredible blue –
the sky came right down on the turquoise sea
I remember the girl
She laid down by me on the white sand –
the most beautiful girl –
I cradled her face in the palm of my hand
Deep in space
I search the stars
in timeless, aching night
My food is low
but I have sworn
to find the world
of blue and white
In the depths of outer space
a man is small
a mote of dirt
Awake, alone
lying in my berth
and I will not return
until I've walked upon the Earth
Where is the Earth?
Where is the Earth?
