Standard (EADGBE)

Hello, earth.

Hello, earth.

With just one hand held up high

 I can blot you out,

 Out of sight.

 Peek--boo,

 Peek-a-boo, little earth.

With just my heart and my mind

 I can be driving,

Driving home,

 And you asleep

 On the seat.

 I get out of my car,

 Step into the night

 And look up at the sky.

 And there's something bright,

Traveling fast.

 Look at it go!

 Look at it go!

(Men's Choral Part)

Hello earth,

Hello earth.

Watching storms

Start to form

Over america.

 Can't do anything.

 Just watch them swing

With the wind

 Out to sea.

All you sailors,

 ("get out of the waves! get out of the water!")

All life-savers,

("get out of the waves! get out of the water!")

All you cruisers,

("get out of the waves! get out of the water!")

 All you fishermen,

Head for home.

Go to sleep, little earth.

 I was there at the birth,

Out of the cloudburst,

 The head of the tempest.

Murderer!

Murder of calm.

Why did I go?

 Why did I go?

(Men's Choral Part)

(Repeat two more times and then play high C#s above instrumentals)

(Spoken in a whisper)

Go to sleep little earth.
