Straight To You
All the towers of ivory are crumblingAnd the swallows have sharpened their beaksThis is the time of our great undoingThis is the time that I'll come runningStraight to youFor I am capturedStraight to youFor I am capturedOne more time
The light in our window is fadingThe candle gutters on the ledgeWell now sorrow, it comes a-stealingAnd I'll cry, girl, but I'll come a-runningStraight to youFor I am capturedStraight to youFor I am capturedOnce again
Gone are the days of rainbowsGone are the nights of swinging from the starsFor the sea will swallow up the mountainsAnd the sky will throw thunder-bolts and sparksStraight at youBut I'll come a-runningStraight to youBut I'll come a-runningOne more time
Heaven has denied us its kingdomThe saints are drunk howling at the moonThe chariots of angels are collidingWell, I'll run, babe, but I'll come runningStraight to youFor I am capturedStraight to youFor I am capturedOne more time
