Lyrics

As The Crow Flies

[Verse 1]

As the crow flies, baby

Well I ain't too far from you

As the crow flies, baby

Well I ain't too far from you

But since I don't have wings

I can't get home as fast as I want to

[Verse 2]

In a dream last night

Dreamed I held you in my arms

In a dream last night

Dreamed I held you in my arms

But when I woke up this morning

Lord I found my little girl was gone

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 3]

Well, you don't know baby

How I miss your sweet caress

Well, you don't know baby

How I missed your sweet caress

Cause when I'm in your lovin' arms

That’s when I'm at my very best   my very best

[Outro]

Been a long, lonely time

Been a long, lonely time

It's been a long, lonely time

It's been a long, lonely time

It's been a long
