Spirals in Your Eyes

Copyright ©2014 by Peter Alway
Lyrics posted by permission of the author

One, one, two, three, five, eight, thirteen
Twenty-one, thirty-four
Spinning, growing somehow knowing
Drawing me to the shore

Down in the deepest sea creatures of mystery
Growing out spirally in their form
Only their shells were known locked in the ancient stone
Or thrown on the beach by a summer storm

One, one, two, three, five, eight, thirteen
Twenty-one, thirty-four
Spinning, growing somehow knowing
Drawing me to the shore

Roiling the summer sky, past where the seagulls fly
Rains that can rip, and the winds that roar
Radar and rocketry, look with new eyes that see
Down on a gyre from where spaceships soar

One, one, two, three, five, eight, thirteen
Twenty-one, thirty-four
Spinning, growing somehow knowing
Drawing me to the shore

Turning in distant night, glowing with gentle light
Islands of stars answer Newton's call
Burning with stellar births, building a billion earths
Twisting a spiral from matter's fall

Tiny shells or nature's wrath, everywhere it's simple math
Hidden in the swirl the secret lies
Spirals in the telescope; spirals in the micoroscope
Spirals in the world and in your eyes

One, one, two, three, five, eight, thirteen
Twenty-one, thirty-four
Spinning, growing somehow knowing
Drawing me to the shore
To know more
