Straight To You

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 Now, the light in our window is fading And the candle it 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 And gone are the nights of the swinging from the stars For the sea will swallow up the mountains And the sky will throw thunderbolts and sparks Straight at you But I'll come a-running Straight to you Yeah I'll come a-running One more time Now, Heaven has denied us its kingdom And the saints they're all drunk and howling at the moon And the chariots of angels are colliding Well, I'll run, baby, but I'll come a-running Straight to you For I am captured Straight to you For I am captured One more time
