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.
