As the crow flies, mama
Well, I ain't that far from you
As the crow flies, mama
Well, I ain't that far from you
Yeah, but since I don't have wings
I can't get to you as fast as I liked to

Well, you don't know, mama
How I miss your sweet caress
Well, you don't know, mama
How I miss your sweet caress
Yeah, when I'm in your arms
Then I met my lovin' best (I ain't lyin')

In a dream last night
Well, I heard you call my name (Yes, I did)
In a dream last night
Well, I heard you call my name
Yeah, I took that as an omen
That I am your lovin' man

As the crow flies, mama
Well, I ain't that far from you
As the crow flies, mama
Well, I ain't that far from you
Yeah, but since I don't have wings
I can't get to you as fast as I liked to
Well, you don't know, mama
How I miss your sweet caress
Well, you don't know, mama
How I miss your sweet caress
Yeah, when I'm in your arms
Then I met my lovin' best (I ain't lyin')
