Cosmo Sheldrake - By Being With You
Listen to the new album Eye To The Ear here:

This is a song I wrote for Flora. I had been listening to a lot of Andean and Latin American music at the time which might have rubbed off. The tune emerged from a little guitar melody I had been playing around with for a while. The lyrics emerged a fair while later. I have always been inspired by the way Oscar Wilde personified seasons and animals and processes in some of his short stories so it’s possible that this influence may have also worked its way in somehow.
Lyrics:
I’ll be the moon
You’ll be the sun
We’ll make the day glow
You’ll slowly rise
And I will fall
I’ll be the sky
You’ll be the ground
Under the hillside
We’ll slowly wait and watch it all
I’ll be a bee
You’ll be a bird
We’ll feel the wind blow
I’ll be the rain and you the snow
You’ll be the light
And I’ll be a cloud
Casting a shadow
You’ll bring the shine
And I the shade
You’ll be the morning
I’ll be the day
Dressed by the evening
That melted away
By being with you
