straight to you

all the towers of ivory are crumbling

and the swallows sharpen 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 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 mountain

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 it's 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
