All the towers of ivory are crumbling
And the swallows that sharpen the blades
This is the time,
how great I'm doing This is the time that I come running
Straight to you,
writing captured Straight to you,
writing captured
One more time
Now the light in our window is fading
The candle gutters on the ledge
No sorrow,
here comes a stealing And I cry, girl,
but I come running
Straight to you,
writing captured Straight to you,
writing captured
Once again
Gone are the days of rainbow And gone are the nights of swinging from
the stars For the sea would swallow
up the mountains
And the sky would throw thunderbolts and sparks Straight at you,
but I come running
Straight to you,
but I come running One more time
Now heaven has denied us its kingdom And the saints are drunk,
howling at the moon
And the chariots of angels are colliding Well,
I run,
babe, but I come running
Straight to you,
writing captured Straight to you,
writing captured
One more time
