Great 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
Great he is including some old songs that were not hits.
needs the Mellotron blazing
I love Elton but its getting hard to make out the words these days – its okay for those of us who've heard the originals we don't need subtitles we know how these songs should sound but to any new listeners this is gonna sounds mumbled and incoherent and nothing special at all. Check out the live 1974 on YouTube to hear how Grey Seal should sound. I hope no one takes offence I'm just being honest. Elton is still producing great work in the studio but his live performances have taken a nose dive.
That he bought tickets and could not go
That sucks
I was in hospital paid for it and missed it ..still have the tix I bought as a memento
I couldn't attended the concert at star city in Australia
não entendi o pq do seu comentário sobre o nigel …o baterista….
Fantastic!!!
My favourite Song.
