I know there isn't much to see here There may be even less to do Some people say there is no future here for me And maybe that is true Some houses by the lonely harbour A narrow street leads to the church A bus-stop and some bored old seagulls I'm calling this my piece of earth For reasons that I can't remember I've never felt this reckless urge To go just where the road might take me I'm happy on this piece of earth I've never been afraid of silence What scares me more are empty words But this is something you can count on I'm staying on this piece of earth You tell me that I shouldn't stay here You say there's so much more to see The world is full of golden chances And that somewhere there's a prince for me But can't you see that all I wished for Was you for better and for worse And to hear you say how much you love me Forever on this piece of earth
