Verse
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
Chorus
Straight to you
For I am captured
Straight to you
For I am captured
One more time

Verse
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
Chorus
Straight to you
For I am captured
Straight to you
For I am captured
Once again – – –
Verse
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
Chorus
Straight at you
But I'll come a-running
Straight to you
But I'll come a-running
One more time

Verse
Heaven has denied us it's kingdom
And the saints are drunk howling at the moon
And the chariots of angels are colliding
Well, I'll run, babe, but I'll come running
Chorus
Straight to you
For I am captured
Straight to you
For I am captured
One more time
