"As The Crow Flies (Live)" lyrics

The Cork Museum here in, uh, Cork was nice enough to loan me Rory's National Triolian from 1930 that you've seen in so many films
So, this is one of the first songs that I ever, ever learned, um, on an acoustic guitar and it was version of this Tony Joe White tune, so, I hope I do it justice

As the crow flies, baby
And I ain't so far from you
As the crow flies, baby
And she ain't so far from you
Well, I don't have wings
And I can't get home as fast as I want to, hey

Had a dream last night
Where I heard you call my name
Had a dream last night
Where I heard you call my name
Well, I took it as an omen
And I jumped on that fast freight train, woah

Well, you don't know, baby
How I've missed your sweet caress
Well, you don't know, baby
That I've missed your sweet caress
When I'm in your lovin' arms
I swear I'm at my very best
As the crow flies
As the crow flies

As the crow flies
As the crow flies
As the crow flies
