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

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

And gone are the days of rainbows
And gone are the nights of 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 running straight to you
But I'll come running one more time

Heaven has denied us its kingdom
The saints are drunk and howling at the moon
And the chariots of angels are colliding
Well, I'll run, babe, I'll come running
Straight to you

For I am captured straight to you
For I am captured one more time
