As the Crow Flies Songtext
von Big Big Train

All here is good, still and quiet.
A branch,
Blossom heavy,
Lit by the sun.
Flowers in the meadow in full bloom. Midsummer
Stars fall,
Earthbound.
Catching the uplift
Taking to the skies
Slip the bonds of childhood and home,
No glance behind,
All is still and quiet.
There she goes
Into the elds,
The turning of the wheels


The sound of children′s laughter fading with the distance measured out in years.
Take ight to the skies with hopes and dreams hopes and dreams.
Safe landings, my loves, always.
Straight as the crow ies the beat of wings
The great escape.
Build you some
Bridges back to earth, to solid ground.
Hope not to fall
Or drift away.
Take ight to the skies with hopes and dreams hopes and dreams.
Good journeys, my loves, straight and true.
Take ight to the far skies distant as you dare.
Don't let anybody tell you
That you′re too close to the sun.
All here is good, still and quiet.
