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
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
