Straight To You Lyrics - Singles - Nick Cave & The Bad Seed

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 

Now, the light in our window is fading 

And the candle it 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 

And gone are the nights of the swinging from the stars 

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 

Now, Heaven has denied us its kingdom 

And the saints they're all drunk and howling at the moon 

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
