[00:01.48] Suddenly the night has grown colder.
[00:10.04] The god of love preparing to depart.
[00:18.86] Alexandra hoisted on his shoulder,
[00:26.56] They slip between the sentries of the heart.
[00:33.10]
[00:33.75] Upheld by the simplicities of pleasure,
[00:42.08] They gain the light, they formlessly entwine;
[00:51.22] And radiant beyond your widest measure
[00:59.65] They fall among the voices and the wine.
[01:05.90]
[01:08.22] It’s not a trick, your senses all deceiving,
[01:16.66] A fitful dream, the morning will exhaust –
[01:25.31] Say goodbye to Alexandra leaving.
[01:33.81] Then say goodbye to Alexandra lost.
[01:40.17]
[01:43.22] Even though she sleeps upon your satin;
[01:51.52] Even though she wakes you with a kiss.
[01:59.81] Do not say the moment was imagined;
[02:08.03] Do not stoop to strategies like this.
[02:14.50]
[02:16.17] As someone long prepared for this to happen,
[02:24.38] Go firmly to the window. Drink it in.
[02:31.33] Exquisite music. Alexandra laughing.
[02:40.65] Your first commitments tangible again.
[02:47.36]
[02:49.67] And you who had the honor of her evening,
[02:58.23] And by that honor had your own restored –
[03:06.46] Say goodbye to Alexandra leaving;
[03:15.87] Alexandra leaving with her lord.
[03:21.60]
[03:22.56] Even though she sleeps upon your satin;
[03:31.53] Even though she wakes you with a kiss.
[03:39.05] Do not say the moment was imagined;
[03:47.35] Do not stoop to strategies like this.
[03:56.00]
[03:57.65] As someone long prepared for the occasion;
[04:05.84] In full command of every plan you wrecked –
[04:14.27] Do not choose a coward’s explanation
[04:22.49] that hides behind the cause and the effect.
[04:28.17]
[04:29.16] And you who were bewildered by a meaning;
[04:29.24]
[04:29.62] And you who were bewildered by a meaning;
[04:37.46] Whose code was broken, crucifix uncrossed –
[04:45.89] Say goodbye to Alexandra leaving.
[04:54.63] Then say goodbye to Alexandra lost.
[05:00.58]
[05:02.39] Say goodbye to Alexandra leaving.
[05:11.09] Then say goodbye to Alexandra lost.
[00:01.48] Suddenly the night has grown colder.
[00:10.04] The god of love preparing to depart.
[00:18.86] Alexandra hoisted on his shoulder,
[00:26.56] They slip between the sentries of the heart.
[00:33.10]
[00:33.75] Upheld by the simplicities of pleasure,
[00:42.08] They gain the light, they formlessly entwine
[00:51.22] And radiant beyond your widest measure
[00:59.65] They fall among the voices and the wine.
[01:05.90]
[01:08.22] It' s not a trick, your senses all deceiving,
[01:16.66] A fitful dream, the morning will exhaust
[01:25.31] Say goodbye to Alexandra leaving.
[01:33.81] Then say goodbye to Alexandra lost.
[01:40.17]
