about

This is about the starlings coming in to roost in the marina in Brighton. And it's also about children leaving home.

lyrics

Jewel birds gather
Rising and falling
Caught in some dance
Hypnotic, enthralling
One bird alights
And a smaller group flies
Whispering, twittering
Make for the skies

Murmuring, murmuring
When will you be
Wrapping and flapping
Safe home to me?

Twist like a cyclone
Ducking and diving
Starlings my darlings
At dusk are arriving
Thousands and thousands
A twisting cloak turning
Darken the skies
As the last rays are burning

Murmuring, murmuring
When will you be
Wrapping and flapping
Safe home to me?

Bird calls and feathers
Whistling and whirring
Sparkling birds
Gathering, conferring
Swooping and whooping
They plunge from their flight
Under the pier
To be safe for the night

Murmuring, murmuring
When will you be
Wrapping and flapping
Safe home to me?
