about

The second single from the upcoming double album SECRETS&SILENCE.

lyrics

So the Darkening comes
With its iridescent sky
A silence fills the air
As the clouds go scudding by
We watch the stars come out
We watch the eventide
Every bird grows silent
As we settle into night
And all at once it seems
As in some grand design
Your breath it catches in your throat
As all the birds take flight.

We stare with upward eyes
Observing every twist
Every lift and dive
Every ripple, every drift
Every dusk the starlings soar
And no one can say why
It’s primal and instinctual
Starlings fill the sky.

Patterns start to form
Triskeles above the field
With Newgrange down below
The firmament concealed
The silhouettes of bird
Reel and twist and dive
And what is this murmuring?
At once you feel alive!

And in the gloaming
The sky is deepening
Twisting and turning
And reaching and yearning
And Flying!

So the starlings rest
And surrender to the night
But the murmuration grows
In the waving Northern Lights
Shades of malachite and jade
Billow out as if in dance
It’s no optical illusion
All the world’s entranced
