beauty found me

walls of cloud form a whirlwind's eye
past this circle times races by
oh, letting go
can't see past you, can't even know

i closed my eyes to hide - still beauty found me
nearly drifting away

time recedes like a setting sun
strange departure, a world undone
fall on my knees
nothing matters, just let me be

i closed my eyes to hide - still beauty found me
nearly drifting away

whispering silence, a murmured spell
fragile notion, a crumbling shell
oh, gravity
fading halflight blurs all i see

i closed my eyes to hide - still beauty found me
nearly drifting away
