The years aren't quite right...the 60's actually were from 1964 (the Beatles) to about 1974 (give or take a year). Probably the best decade of music ever, especially if you include a little slop later into the 70's. Lately I've rediscovered Elton John. Wow. 1969 was a tough year (the highs of Woodstock, the lows of Altamont) and for me both my dog and piano teacher died. But out of sorrow and chaos, the Phoenix rises...
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 a 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 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
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
