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
