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 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
How does it feel to be shark bait. Ever seen video of great whites tossing seals around off the coast of South Africa?
People wonder why more sharks are off the california coast. Just following food.
That was one of my favorite songs on that album. That and Roy Rogers.
Lol!!
I always here that song in my head when I hear the words “gray seal”.
It was one of Bernie and Elton’s best..!
