Orleans Earth Out Tonight Lyrics

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
Feels as though I've flown a million miles

I came out here in '92 to have a look around
And it took awhile before I felt my feet on solid ground
Well, 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, not so crowded here as it is back home
Some men never have a chance to be alone Well, 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 that world
Where I know my girl must be laughing

And there's an earth out tonight (Tonight)
Shining big and bright
Blue and green and white in a velvet sky
There's an earth out tonight (Earth out tonight)
Shining big and bright (See it shine)
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
