Straight To You - Nick Cave & 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 it’s 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
