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
