Against a blue sky A black shadow flies by Guess he's got some place to go Some mission's callin' No high ground can slow him The miles flash by down below You know you could always count on me I'm like the river to the sea As sure as day follows night But I won't run a crooked mile And I won't wait for morning light I'd come straight as the crow flies Each night the North Star Reminds me of so far away From the one light that's true But love's a strong tie That binds you to my life And will go the distance for you You know you could always count on me I'm like the river to the sea As sure as day follows night But I won't run a crooked mile And I won't wait for morning light I'd come straight as the crow flies If there's ever anything you need You only have to whisper in your dreams You know you could always count on me I'm like the river to the sea As sure as day follows night But I won't run a crooked mile And I won't wait for morning light I'd come straight as the crow flies
