Straight to you

{chord: Fadd9 X X 3 2 1 3 0}
Em Em 
      
Em 
All the towers of ivory are crumbling
Em 
And the swallows have sharpened their beaks
F2 
This is the time of our great undoing
F2 
This is the time that I’ll come running
Straight to you
F2 
For I am captured
Straight to you
F2 
For I am captured
F2 
One more time  
F2 Dm F2 
        
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 to you
But I’ll come a-running
Straight to you
But I’ll come a-running
One more time
Heaven has denied us it’s kingdom
The saints are drunk and howling at the moon
The chariots of angels are colliding
Well, I’ll run, babe, but I’ll come a-running
Straight to you
For I am captured
Straight to you
For I am captured
One more time
