As The Crow Flies lyrics

Grey as the heron's feathers Grey as a foggy night Grey is the solemn backdrop To our sorry attempts of life Wet as the morning dew drops Wet as a rainy street Wet is the tear i'm wiping Gently off of my true love's cheek Fifty miles as the crow flies Over rooftops and mountains high Gonna find me a paradise Fifty miles away as the crow flies Find me a place of refuge Find me a place to fall Find me a bed to sleep in Some white linen and four blue walls Fifty miles... Silently i close the door and smell the night around me Going to a place where nothing in my past will ever find me By tomorrow i'm long gone Fifty miles...
