As the Crow Flies
Journey of Longing: Homebound 'As the Crow Flies'
Lyrics
As the crow flies, baby
Expressing the straight-line distance, suggesting a direct connection.
Will I ain't so far from you
Despite the apparent distance, there's a sense of proximity or emotional closeness.
As the crow flies, baby
Reiteration of the idea that the distance is not significant "as the crow flies."
Will I ain't so far from you
Emphasizing the closeness that transcends physical distance.
But since I don't have wings
Acknowledging a limitation – the speaker doesn't have the means to reach quickly.
I can't get home as fast as I want to
Expressing a desire to reach the destination swiftly, like a crow would.
As the crow flies, baby
Repeating the idea of closeness using the metaphor of a crow's flight.
Will I ain't so far from you
Reiterating the theme of proximity despite obstacles.
As the crow flies, baby
Continuing to highlight the emotional closeness "as the crow flies."
Will I ain't so far from you
Underlining the theme of nearness despite physical barriers.
But since I don't have wings
Repeating the desire to overcome distance quickly due to the lack of wings.
I can't get home as fast as I want to
Expressing the yearning for a faster way to return home.
In a dream last night
Introducing a dream sequence, suggesting a subconscious connection.
Where I heard you call my name
Recalling a dream where the speaker hears their name being called.
In a dream last night
Repeating the dream scenario, emphasizing its significance.
Where I heard you call my name
Highlighting the impact of the dream experience.
Well, I took it as an omen
Interpreting the dream as a sign or foreshadowing.
And I jumped on the very first weight train
Acting on the dream's message, taking immediate action.
Yeah, as the crow flies
Linking the dream's guidance with the concept of a crow's flight.
Well, you don't know baby
Expressing the depth of longing and the impact of separation.
How I miss you sweet caress
Underscoring the emotional void caused by the absence of a loved one.
Well, you don't know baby
Reiterating the emotional impact of the distance.
How I miss you sweet caress
Emphasizing the yearning for the tactile connection.
When I'm in your lovin' arms
Describing the emotional completeness found in the loved one's arms.
I swear I make my very best
Committing to giving the best when in the embrace of the loved one.
As the crow flies, baby
Reiterating the theme of yearning and the journey "as the crow flies."
That's how I'm on my way
Asserting the direction of the journey, emphasizing progress.
As the crow flies, baby
Repeating the determination to reach the destination swiftly.
I'm on my way
Reiterating the commitment to the journey "as the crow flies."
But don't stop runnin'
Encouraging persistence and not stopping until the goal is achieved.
I can get home for the break of day
Expressing the urgency to return home by the break of day.
Get home for the break of day (x7)
Repeating the urgency and determination to reach home quickly.
