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.
As the crow flies
A vol d'oiseaux
A vol d'oiseaux
Je ne suis pas
si loin de toi (bis)
Mais comme je n'ai pas d'ailes
Je ne peux pas
rentrer aussi vite que je le voudrais.
(répétition 1er couplet)
J'ai rêvé la nuit dernière
Que tu criais mon nom (bis)
Alors
j'ai pris cela pour un présage
Et j'ai sauté dans le premier train
Tu ne sais pas Baby
A quel point tes caresses me manquent (bis)
Quand je suis dans tes bras aimants
Je te jure que c'est la où je me
sens le mieux
A vol d'oiseau
Oui, je suis en route (bis)
Si
je ne m'arrête pas de courrir
Je serais à la maison avant la fin du jour
