He's standing in the doorway
Shading his eyes
I know he's talking about me
As the crow flies
Going south, going south
I've got to escape
On my tail, on my tail
With my superman cape.

Now the sun is going down
The moon is in the sky
The geese are all leaving
As the crow flies
Going up, going up
At the break of night
I'm not easy to help
In my sudden flight.

This kind of situation
Makes me want to die
I'm maybe ten feet away
As the crow flies
Going back, going back
To the start of it all
You can hold me close
You can let me fall.

You can watch me walking away
A hundred miles a day
As the crow flies
You'll never see me again
But here's a postcard you can send
As the crow flies.

I say goodbye, goodbye, goodbye, goodbye
As the crow flies
Say goodbye, goodbye, goodbye, goodbye
As the crow flies.
