The song Grey Seal is performed by Elton John in the album named Elton John in the year 1996 .
Why's it never light on my lawn
But it didn't rain
And never say "Good Day" to the newborn
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, gray seal
How does it feel to be so wise?
To see through eyes that only see what's real
Tell me, gray 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, gray seal
How does it feel to be so wise?
To see through eyes that only see what's real
Tell me, gray seal
Your mission bells were wrought by ancient men
The roots were formed by twisted roots
Your roots were twisted then
I was reborn 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, gray seal
How does it feel to be so wise?
To see through eyes that only see what's real
Tell me, gray seal
