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
