Straight to You

Nick Cave and the bad seeds

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

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 at 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
