Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah
Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah 
As the crow flies baby 
Well, I ain't so far from you
As the crow flies baby
Well, I ain't so far from you
But since I don't have wings 
I can't get home as fast as I want to
Um um um hoo

As the crow flies baby
Well, I ain't so far from you 
As the crow flies baby 
Well, I ain't so far from you 
But since I don't have wings 
I can't get home as fast as I want to 

In a dream last night
Where I heard you call my name 
In a dream last night
Where I heard you call my name
Well, I took it as an omen
And I jumped on the very first freight train

Yeah..... as the crow flies 

ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah 

Well, you don't know baby
How I miss your sweet caress
Well, you don't know baby 
How I miss your sweet caress 
When I'm in your lovin' arms 
I swear I'm at my very best 

As the crow flies baby 
That's how I'm on my way 
As the crow flies baby 
I'm on my way

ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah 

If I don't stop runnin'
I can get home for the break of day 
Get home for the break of day 
Get home for the break of day 
Get home for the break of day 
Get home for the break of day
Get home for the break of day 
Get home for the break of day 
Get home for the break of day
