it’s not nice and neat don’t go down mainstreet
or bother with the boulevard on blacktop two miles
don’t take a left on gravel with sun in your eyes
you’ve got love as the crow flies
The upcoming exhibit of Quaker quilts
you can’t wait to tell him your step has a lilt
it’s not an affair you think with a laugh
it’s just that your real life
husband doesn’t like crafts
the crow flies
the crow flies
you’ve got love as the crow flies
the crow flies
the crow flies
you've got love as the crow flies
His ornate alchemy is ionic
his messy charisma is messianic
it’s not your fault Walt is your gestalt
you’ve got love as the crow flies
so high in the sky
no traffic jams
goes wherever it wants
high in the sky
just goes wherever it wants
