Cosmo Sheldrake - Does the Swallow Dream of Flying

Listen to Does the Swallow Dream of Flying here: Pre save/order the new album Eye To The Ear here: This is a song that I wrote in the solar powered shed studio during one of the lockdowns. It is an attempt to imagine the world from different perspectives, including that of a bird, a flower a river and the wind. It also features HOWL. Art work by Flora Wallace. Lyrics: Does the swallow dream of flying, As it sleeps on the wing, Does it long for the summer, As it flies home for spring, Does daisy feel a sadness, At the last rays of sun, Does the wind feel a gladness, At the work that it’s done. I won’t go making mountains, Out of molehills, Anymore, I won’t go chasing windmills, Round in circles, Anymore, I won’t go preaching sermons, To the choir what’s it for? I won’t go through the motions anymore. Does the river ever wonder, What will come round the bend? As it twists and meanders, Down its slow descent. I looked out over London, With my last cup of tea, My gaze was returned by, Grey cloud and steel. My music, shows/tour dates, merch, socials and more can be found here
