If I’ve wasted your time
I’m sorry my love
Thoughtless and careless
Oh I was young
And like a ship in the night
I watched you pass by
Now I wish that I may
I wish that I might
Get back to you
The quickest I can
One of by sea or two of by land
Yea I’d cross the world to hold your hand
No wandering this time
I’d draw a straight line
As the crow flies
As the crow flies
As the crow flies
As the crow flies
No more wrong turns oh I’ve had it with
Mistakes, misplaced second chances and
‘next time i’ll try so much harder
Im starting to see
What I’ve done to me and you
I’ll chart a course straight to your heart
Follow the light from a northern most start
I’ll love, I’ll love like I couldn’t before
I’m here and I’m yours
I’m yours
And I'll get to you
The quickest I can
One of by sea or two of by land
No wandering this time
I’d draw a straight line
As the crow flies
As the crow flies
As the crow flies
As the crow flies
