Luther Vandross wait for love

This songcollab come up when I was listen at  Sean Doran's http://soundcloud.com/something-memorable great songs at SC, the lyrics and his Irish feeling and his way to sing them really touched me.
When he asked me, if I liked to do a collab with him, I got really happy. The song he worked with that wasn´t ready, it needed more lyrics and maybe some changes with the music too. The words came up when I heard Seans start of the song and I wrote some verses and also the end on the song.
Then we have some good help from www.soundcloud.com/patrikneriksson He worked with the music Sean has written, and he  plays the guitars and harmonica. Sean plays the lovely whistle, and he and I sing together.
Hope you will enjoy, I think I´m the happy one here, who leared a lot when we doing this song together. Big thanks to Sean for giving me the opporttunity to be a part of this song Also thanks to Pat who always listen to me and stand by my side, supporting me with an open heart.
Here comes the lyric.
As the Crow flies

Our paths they have twisted, and moved apart for so long
Yet still I miss you, your smile that kept me warm.
Lives finds such different roads, throgh they have the same start.
But as the black crow flies, are we really far apart?

Regrets, well they smoulder, longer than they should.
Decisions I avoided, and how they come to no good.
The love I let slip. How could I miss what was mine?
The crow in me yearns to fly back to that time.

Crow fly, Crow fly on
Tell her she is still the lovely only one.
Crow fly, Crow fly on
Once she loved me, tell me, if that chance has gone.

I stand by the mirror, of the quiet lake.
In a memory reflected, your face comes awake.
Your searching finds me,your yearning calls to me.
I hear wings break the clouds, is it you come back to me.

Once we were happy, once we were whole.
Whispers of love and a closeness of souls.
There we were gathered, and there I let us come undone.
Why couldn´t I recognise true love, until you were gone.

Crow fly, Crow fly on
Tell her, she´s still the lovely only one.
Crow fly, Crow fly on
Once she loved me, tell me, if that chance has gone.

Is it too late to hope you still know how much I cared.
To picture us again laughing at those memories we share.
The crow flies straight to where our love began.
He can leave behind shadows, I hope let him, you can.

And in the nights dephts, I fly high above.
Thruu dreams remembering how we shared our love.
All sorrows lift away, no more tears in my heart.
My eyes will shine for you, when we are not apart.

Crow fly, Crow fly on.
Tell her, she´s still the lovely only one.
Crow fly, Crow fly on
Once I loved her, can it be that all that love is gone?

Fly high, crow fly on
All our tears are memories, all our fear is gone.
We´ll fly so high, together as one.
Fly high, Fly high, We are one.
