_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ When that bird fell from its nest, _ _ _ [C] me and [F] my sister did [Eb] our best
_ _ Two [Ab] feet it [Eb] earthworms every day
_ _ After school [F] we watched it fly [Eb] away _ _ _ _
_ _ _ Well, I miss my mother, [Abm] my old room and the sound of [Eb] the rain
_ _ _ _ _ _ _
[C] Fell on the [F] rooftops and ran along the trains
[Eb] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [C] But sometimes it feels [Eb] like an ocean that railway line _
_ _ [Eb] Sometimes it feels like we're living in darker time _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [Cm] I'm heading [Bb] back home for [Eb] a couple of days _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ But [Cm] I can't [Bb] imagine all that [Eb] much has changed
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[C] See that town moves with [Eb] the color of the sky _ _ _ _ _
There's a face [Bb] I recognize _ _ _
[Eb] _ _ as the crow flies
_ _ _ _ _ _ _
Where someone's opened up a cafe on the river
_ _ _ _ I _ _ _ _ [C] would go there in the summer [F] and some boats [Eb] out we said _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ Those [C] kids grew up in the beat of the old bass drum _ _ _ _ _
_ _ From son to father from father back to son _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _
That cat used to run rings always playing tricks on the dog _ _ _ _
_ _ He'd be [C] sitting in the kitchen [F] rolling around all covered in mud
_ [Eb] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [Cm] Now they're buried in the garden [Eb] in the shadow of the hawthorn tree _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ Farewell travelers may your souls always be free _ _
_ _ _ _ _ Where [C] we always get [Bb] together [Eb] this time _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ Always [Cm] wish I [Bb] could tell him what they're [Eb] waiting to hear _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [C] But who said [Bb] time [Eb] moves in straight
_ _ _ Line _ _
_ _ At least I can say I [Bb] tried _ _ _ [Eb] _ as the crow flies _ _ _ _ _ _ _
She said you're drinking too much.
I [Ab] said yes, I probably am _ _ _
_ _ _ _ Find [C] it easier to [Eb] forget what I can understand
_ _ [Eb] _ _ _ _ _
Like [C] how all those snakes [F] made it past the line so fast _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [C] And how the future [F] turns so quickly into the past
[Eb] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[G] Now the cafe by [Bb] the river [F] is all [Eb] boarded up _ _ _ _ _ _
There's [Cm] an autumn wind [Bb] blowing through [Eb] the old horse chestnut
_ _ [Eb] _ _
_ _ [C] But I saw him in [Bb] a dream says he's doing all right. _ _ _
I can see him in your [F] eyes _
_ _ _ [Eb] as the crow [Bb] _
flies
_ _ [Eb] _ _ _ _
as _ the crow
Fly _ well, _ _ _ _ _ sometimes it feels like everything's been done before _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [G] the same _ [Eb] ideas the same
Four _ -course
_ _ _ _ We're still [Cm] leaving in the morning for to cross the sea _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _
[Cm] Is not _ everything's [Eb] being done by me. _ _ _ _ _ _ _
I
Remember that boy in the fading
_ August _ line _ _
_ _ _ We [G] watch that fledgling [Eb] bird take its first flight
Well, _ [Eb] _ _ _ _
[Fm] I hope that [Eb] I have done you proud _ _ _ _ _ _ _ and [Cm] I promise to wake up and fight _ _ _ _ _
_ _ On the [Bb] roads that we travel [F] on the oceans [Eb] we sail _ _
_ _ _ _ In the [Fm] jaws of [Bb] the dragon [F] in the belly of [Eb] the whale _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [F] _
Yeah, I always [Bb] keep you [Eb] _ by my _ Side _ _ _
_ We get old and [F] we'll get wise
_ _ _ _ _ [Eb] as the crow fly _ _ _ _ _
anywhere _ _ [Bb] anytime _ _ _
[F] _ _ as the crow flies _
