As The Crow Flies (David A. Thompson | Woody Overtones Music, ASCAP) Ah, to be young again and in love and not have to go back to school at the end of the summer. Actually, at this point, we'll even just go for being young again. Julie Elkins - lead vocal, banjo David Thompson - lead guitar, bass John Lowell - rhythm guitar, harmony vocal Jason Thomas - fiddle Ben Winship - mandolin, harmony vocal All I have now is a memory We met the last day of a summer long ago When the season closed the valley it was time for school But me and Alexander didn't go Red and yellow were the colors The glowed beneath the blue-and- blackbird-colored sky Frosty mornings by the fire, just him and me Watching new love crackle in his eyes But in the light of late October It's almost like it isn't over And if I could, you know I'd fly straight back again As the crow flies out across the water Wings against the wind He would worry about the winter Promise me you'll keep it from this mountain town Because the last thing that I need now is a snowy day Can't we stop this world from spinning 'round And when the last leaves fell, it ended When I could taste a trace of snow upon his lips For darker days had finally found us and left us cold As love and autumn slowly lost their grip But in the light of late October It's almost like it isn't over And if I could, you know I'd fly straight back again As the crow flies out across the water Wings against the wind And if I could, you know I'd fly straight back again As the crow flies out across the water Wings against the wind All rights reserved.
