Straight To You

F_______________Em_____
All the towers of ivory are crumbling
And the swallows have sharpened their beaks

C_________F_________
This is the time of our great undoing
This is the time that I'll come running

G Straight to you For I am F captured
Straight to G you For I am F captured One more time
C F C F Dm F G

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 it's kingdom The saints are drunk and howling at the moon The chariots of angels are colliding Well, I'll run, babe, but I'll come a-running Straight to you For I am captured Straight to you For I am captured One more time
