         G#                   G
All the towers of ivory are crumbling
         G#                            G
And the swallows have sharpened their beaks
 G#      A#  D#                 G#
This is the time of our great undoing
             D#                  G#
This is the time that I'll come running
            Fm
Straight to you
         G#
For I am captured
            Fm
Straight to you
         G#
For I am captured
          D# G#
One more time

Now 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
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

Now heaven has denied us its kingdom
And the saints they're all drunk howling at the moon
And 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
