Straight To You lyrics

All the towers of ivory are crumbling

And the swallows've 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 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
