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
