Lyrics

As the Crow Flies
©2010 Westbound

Verse 1
The winter's silent air propels
The black crow's lonely song
My laughter's just as empty as my arms
When you have gone
The breaking in your voice betrays
The longing in your eyes
Another night is laid to waste
And tangled up in lies

Chorus
Point by point, between two lines
This tangled string of heart unwinds
Seeking peace and finding none
My black and white has come undone
A greying thunder crashes from the sky
As the crow flies

Verse 2
A crossroad step you have to take
A trigger tightly wound
It's funny how a heart can break
And never make a sound
Watch the trees go flyin' by
Together we're alone
Lost within the greying sky
Where the sun has never shone

Bridge
And you're black against the sun
Blink before the colors start to run
Slippin' from my hand but holdin' on
You're still here but you're already gone

Verse 3
Holding fast and letting go
Forgetting yesterday
My love if you will run with me
I promise you I'll stay
The Gypsy woman tells the tale
Of what this future brings
So tell me where the shadows hide
And where the black crow sings
