All the towers of ivory are [bad word] And the swallows have sharpened their beaks
This is the time of our great undoing
This is the time that I'll [bad word] 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, [bad word] a-stealing
And I'll cry, girl, but [bad word] [bad word] 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 [bad word] [bad word] Straight to you
But [bad word] [bad word] One more time

Heaven has denied us its kingdom
The saints are [bad word] howling at the moon
The chariots of angels are colliding
Well, [bad word]  babe, but I'll [bad word] Straight to you
For I am captured
Straight to you
For I am captured
One more time
