As the Crow Flies
Journey of Yearning: As the Crow Flies by Joe Bonamassa
Lyrics
As the crow flies baby
Expressing a direct, straight-line distance like a crow's flight.
And I ain't so far from you
Emphasizing proximity or closeness between the speaker and the addressed person.
As the crow flies baby
Reiteration of the idea of closeness, using the metaphor of a crow's flight.
And I ain't so far from you
Continuing to emphasize the short distance between the speaker and the other person.
Well I don't have wings
Acknowledging a limitation or obstacle; the speaker lacks the ability to reach the person easily.
And I can't get home like I want to
Highlighting the inability to reach the destination as desired due to the absence of wings.
In a dream last night
Describing a dream experience where the person heard their name being called.
Well I heard you call my name
Reiterating the dream scenario where the speaker responds to a call in their sleep.
In a dream last night
Continuing the description of the dream where the person's name is called out.
Well I heard you call my name
Reaffirming the dream and the experience of hearing one's name being called.
Well I took it as an omen
Interpreting the dream as a sign or premonition, leading the speaker to take action.
And I jumped on that next train
Acting upon the dream by making a decision to take the next available train.
Oh whoa
An exclamation, possibly expressing a realization or determination.
Well you don't know baby
Expressing the depth of the speaker's yearning for the other person.
How I miss your sweet caress
Reiterating the emotional longing for the sweet touch or affection of the other person.
Well you don't know baby
Continuing to express the emotional void caused by the absence of the other person's touch.
How I miss your sweet caress
Reemphasizing the depth of the speaker's emotional yearning for the other person's caress.
When I'm in your lovin' arms
Describing the feeling of completeness and excellence when embraced by the other person.
And I swear I'm at my very best
Swearing that being in the arms of the other person brings out the best in the speaker.
As the crow flies baby
Recalling the earlier metaphor of a crow's flight to convey the idea of proximity.
