Text: Tony Joe White. Deep Cuts. As the Crow Flies.

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
Yeah, but since I don't have wings
Well I can't get home as fast as I want to

Well, you don't know, baby
I've missed your sweet caress
Well, you don't know, mama
I've missed your sweet caress, oh yeah
Yeah, now when I'm in your lovin' arms
Oh, I'm at my very best

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

As the crow flies, baby
Well I ain't too far from you, oh no no
As the crow flies, mama
Well I ain't too far from you
Yeah, but since I don't have wings
Well I can't get home as fast as I want to
