Grey Seal - Elton John

Why's it never light on my lawn

Why does it rain

And never say good-day to the new-born

On the big screen they showed us a sun

But not as bright in life as the real one

It's never quite the same as the real one

And tell me grey seal

How does it feel

To be so wise

To see through eyes

That only see what's real

Tell me grey seal

I never learned why meteors were formed

I only farmed in schools that were so warn and torn

If anyone can cry then so can I

I read books and draw life from the eye

All my life is drawings from the eye

And tell me grey seal

How does it feel

To be so wise

To see through eyes

That only see what's real

Tell me grey seal

Your mission bells were wrought by ancient men

The roots were formed by twisted roots

Your roots were twisted then

I was re-born before all life could die

The Phoenix bird will leave this world to fly

If the Phoenix bird can fly then so can I

And tell me grey seal

How does it feel

To be so wise

To see through eyes

That only see what's real

Tell me grey seal

And tell me grey seal

And tell me grey seal

How does it feel
