FAWM Song No. 2: Spirals in Your Eyes

[peteralway]

Before FAWM started, I posted a request for song prompts--the first one was from browngirl, asking for a song about the ubiquity of spirals in nature. I started the song off with the Fibonacci Sequence, and moved on from there. Anyway, here is the mp3 ( I was a bit rushed, so there are flubs, but such is life): Spirals in Your Eyes

The title was inspired by one of browngirl's drawings, actually. Anyway, the lyrics and chords are below the cut.

Spirals in Your Eyes
Peter Alway (Feb 4 2014)

Chorus:
G C#dim G C#dim
One one two three five eight thirteen
C D
Twenty-one Thirty-four
G C#dim G C#dim
Spinning, growing somehow knowing
C D G
Drawing me to the shore (last time only) to the shore

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

(Chorus)

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

(Chorus)

G C#dim G C#dim
Turning in distant night, glowing with gentle light
Bb C Bb G
Islands of stars answer Newton’s call
G C#dim G C#dim
Burning with stellar births, building a billion earth
Bb C Bb G
Twisting a spiral from matter’s fall

Bridge:
Em D Em D
Tiny shells or nature’s wrath, everywhere it’s simple math
Em D C D
Buried in the swirl the secret lies
Em D Em D
Spirals in the telescope; spirals in the micoroscope
Em D C D
Spirals in the world and in your eyes

(Chorus)
