Straight To You Lyrics - Henry's Dream - Nick Cave

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 

Gone are the days of rainbows 

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 howling at the moon 

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
