As The Crow Flies

He's standing in the doorway

Shading his eyes

I know he's talking about me

As the crow flies

Going south, going south

I've got to escape

On my tail, on my tail

With my superman cape.



Now the sun is going down

The moon is in the sky

The geese are all leaving

As the crow flies

Going up, going up

At the break of night

I'm not easy to help

In my sudden flight.



This kind of situation

Makes me want to die

I'm maybe ten feet away

As the crow flies

Going back, going back

To the start of it all

You can hold me close

You can let me fall.



You can watch me walking away

A hundred miles a day

As the crow flies

You'll never see me again

But here's a postcard you can send

As the crow flies.



I say goodbye, goodbye, goodbye, goodbye

As the crow flies

Say goodbye, goodbye, goodbye, goodbye

As the crow flies.
