Murmuration from Anti-Inflammatory by Dr. Strangely Strange
This song came to me in a dream about playing with Terry Woods, who was once - briefly - a member of Strangelys and I dreamt we howled out the chorus together, a long drawn out note….. so when I woke, I wrote down what I could remember. Honest. -Tim B

Lyrics
Winter time is coming
You know I cannot stay
Just like those summer migrant birds
I need to get away
You know I cannot stay
I've always been a dreamer
I dream the livelong day
But now that summer's all gone south
I can no longer stay
I need to slip away
Winter time, sweet winter time
How I love your wicked ways
You take the leaves from off of the trees
And you darken down my days
But I believe that old karmic wind
Will blow me back again one sunny day
And like a summer breeze
I'm gonna kiss your skin oh I will
With the scent of new-mown hay
The birds gather on the power lines
To form their last display
One final farewell murmuration
And they'll be on their way
And you know I cannot stay
Winter time is coming
