Straight To You lyrics
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
Now, the light in our window is fading
And the candle it 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 nights of the 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 a-running
Straight to you
Yeah I'll come a-running
One more time
Now, Heaven has denied us its kingdom
And the saints they're all drunk and howling at the moon
And the chariots of angels are colliding
Well, I'll run, baby, but I'll come a-running
Straight to you
For I am captured
Straight to you
For I am captured
One more time
All the towers of ivory are crumbling
And the swallows have sharpened their beaks
This is the time of our great undoing
