Straight To You

All the towers of ivory are crumbling

And the swallows have shackled their beats

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
