Tom: D

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
Its 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
I never learned why meteors were formed
       C         G                    D
I only farmed in schools that were so worn and torn
B                      D      G
If anyone can cry then so can I
       C              G    D
I read books and draw life from the eye
       C       G        D
All my life is drawings from the eye

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
