Music by Elton JohnLyrics by Bernie TaupinReleased as a UK B-side in June, 1970Available on the album Goodbye Yellow Brick RoadWhy's it never light on my lawnWhy does it rain and never say good-day to the new-bornOn the big screen they showed us the sunBut not as bright in life as the real oneIt's never quite the same as the real oneAnd tell me grey sealHow does it feelTo be so wiseTo see through eyesThat only see what's realTell me grey sealI never learned why meteors were formedI only farmed in schools that were so warn and tornIf anyone can cry then so can II read books and draw life from the eyeAll my life is drawings from the eyeYour mission bells were wrought by ancient menThe roots were formed by twisted rootsYour roots were twisted thenI was re-born before all life could dieThe Phoenix bird will leave this world to flyIf the Phoenix bird can fly then so can I
