Nick Cave And The Bad Seeds - Straight To You Lyrics
All the towers of ivory are crumblingAnd the swallows have sharpened their beaksThis is the time of our great undoingThis is the time that Ill come runningStraight to youFor I am capturedStraight to youFor I am capturedOne more timeThe light in our window is fadingThe candle gutters on the ledgeWell now sorrow, it comes a-stealingAnd Ill cry, girl, but Ill come a-runningStraight to youFor I am capturedStraight to youFor I am capturedOnce againGone are the days of rainbowsGone are the nights of swinging from the starsFor the sea will swallow up the mountainsAnd the sky will throw thunder-bolts and sparksStraight at youBut Ill come a-runningStraight to youBut Ill come a-runningOne more timeHeaven has denied us its kingdomThe saints are drunk howling at the moonThe chariots of angels are collidingWell, Ill run, babe, but Ill come runningStraight to youFor I am capturedStraight to youFor I am capturedOne more time
