As the Crow Flies

As the Crow Flies
My love has flown
as the crow flies
Flown into
the sun

My love has flown
like the crow flies
I have lost
my only one

When you left me
all alone
and threw me
along
the road
You took all that
was me
And left
this heavy load

My love has flown
as the crow flies
Flown into
the sun

My love has flown
like the crow flies
I have lost
my only one

Now the birds
no longer
sing
And the stars
no longer
shine
And the flowers
no longer
open
Since you are
no longer
mine

My love has flown
as the crow flies
Flown into
the sun

My love has flown
like the crow flies
I have lost
my only one

I hear your voice
speaking
as you say
my name
And the tears are
over flowing
But they donŐt
wash away
the pain.

My love has flown
as the crow flies
Flown into
the sun

My love has flown
like the crow flies
I have lost
my only one

The sun is only
setting
No more
to rise
And no beauty
is before
me
All I see
are
the lies

My love has flown
as the crow flies
Flown into
the sun

My love has flown
like the crow flies
I have lost
my only one

Fly away
Fly away
As the crow flies
Into the sun
