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
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
Gone are the
days of rainbows
Gone are the nights of swinging from the stars
For the sea will swallow up the mountains
And the sky will throw thunder-bolts and sparks
Straight to
you
But I’ll come a running
Straight to you
But I’ll come a running
One more time
Heaven has
denied us its kingdom
The saints are drunk howling at the moon
The chariots of angels are colliding
Well, I’ll run, babe, but I’ll come running
Straight to
you
For I am captured
Straight to you
For I am captured
One more time
