Grey Seal (Original Version) Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Why’s it never light on my lawn?
Why does it 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
[Chorus]
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
[Verse 2]
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
[Chorus]
And tell me, grey seal
How does it feel to be so wise?
To see through eyes that only see, yeah, what’s real
Tell me, grey seal
[Verse 3]
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
[Chorus]
And tell me, grey seal
How does it feel to be so wise?
To see through eyes that only see, yeah, what’s real
Tell me, grey seal
[Outro]
Tell me, grey seal
How does it feel?
Tell me, grey seal
How does it feel?
Tell me, grey seal
How does it feel?
Yeah, yeah, grey seal
