All the towers of ivory are crumbling
|
And the swallows have sharpened their beaks
|
This is the time of our great undoing
|
This is the time that I'll come running
|
Straight to you
|
For I am captured
|
Straight to you
|
For I am captured
|
One more time
|
|
The light in our window is fading
|
The candle gutters on the ledge
|
Well now sorrow, it comes a-stealing
|
And I'll cry, girl, but I'll come a-running
|
Straight to you
|
For I am captured
|
Straight to you
|
For I am captured
|
Once again
|
|
Gone are the days of rainbows
|
Gone are the nights of swinging from the stars
|
For the sea will swallow up the mountains
|
And the sky will throw thunder-bolts and sparks
|
Straight at you
|
But I'll come a-running
|
Straight to you
|
But I'll come a-running
|
One more time
|
|
Heaven has denied us its kingdom
|
The saints are drunk howling at the moon
|
The chariots of angels are colliding
|
Well, I'll run, babe, but I'll come running
|
Straight to you
|
For I am captured
|
Straight to you
|
For I am captured
|
One more time
|
|

Straight To You
