Lyrics

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 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
