As the crow flies in the mornin' I am singing this tune
The cicadas are buzzin' in the hot humid June
As the crow flies where you're going it's still far far from here
Turn the radio on, hear me croon
Why are you goin' without shedding a tear
Why are you leaving when I'm still right here
Why are you driftin' so far from my heart
As the crow flies you have flown from me dear
There's a birdcage in my bedroom but I can't shut you in
It would kill me to see you in a jail made of tin
There's a birdcage but it's empty, you have spread your wings wide
Now this place is just a place where you've been
But why are you goin' without shedding a tear
Why are you leaving when I'm still right here
Why are you driftin' so far from my heart
As the crow flies you have flown from me dear
As the crow flies you have flown from me dear
