B D G
Why’s it never light on my lawn
C G D
Why does it rain and never say good-day to the new-born
B D G
On the big screen they showed us the sun
C G D
But not as bright in life as the real one
C G D
It's never quite the same as the real one
B F#
And tell me grey seal
A E
how does it feel to be so wise
B F#
To see through eyes
A E
That only see what’s real
B F# A E B
Tell me grey seal
B D G

C G D

B D G

C G D

C G D

The phoenix bird will leave this world to fly
If the phoenix bird can fly then so can I
