[Verse 1]
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

[Chorus 1]
Straight to you, for I am captured
Straight to you, for I am captured
One more time

[Verse 2]
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

[Chorus 2]
Straight to you, for I am captured
Straight to you, for I am captured
Once again

[Verse 3]
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
