  • 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

    And gone are the days of rainbows
    And 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 its kingdom
    The saints are drunk and howling at the moon
    The chariots of angels are colliding
    Well, I'll run, babe, I'll come running

    Straight to you
    For I am captured
    Straight to you
    For I am captured
    One more time Writer/s: Nicholas Cave
