Lyrics

[Verse 1]
All the towers of ivory are crumbling
And the swallows have sharpened their beaks
[Verse 2]
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
[Verse 3]
Now the light in our window is fading
And the candle, it gutters on the ledge
[Verse 4]
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
[Verse 5]
Gone are the days of rainbows
And gone are the nights of swinging from the stars
[Verse 6]
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
[Verse 7]
Now Heaven has denied us Its kingdom
And the saints, they're all drunk and howling at the moon
[Verse 8]
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
