Grey Seal Tab

by 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 the sun
                               
But not as bright in life as the real one
                              
Its 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 worn 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

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
