[00:04.699]	Suddenly the night has grown colder.
[00:06.558]	The god of love preparing to depart.
[00:16.290]	Alexandra hoisted on his shoulder,
[00:21.720]
[00:23.200]	They slip between the sentries of the heart.
[00:33.248]	Upheld by the simplicities of pleasure,
[00:38.558]	They gain the light, they formlessly entwine;
[00:47.498]	And radiant beyond your widest measure
[00:56.248]	They fall among the voices and the wine.
[01:06.238]	It's not a trick, your senses all deceiving,
[01:14.529]	A fitful dream, the morning will exhaust -
[01:23.579]	Say goodbye to Alexandra leaving.
[01:30.789]	Then say goodbye to Alexandra lost.
[01:39.368]	Even though she sleeps upon your satin;
[01:47.610]	Even though she wakes you with a kiss.
[01:58.270]	Do not say the moment was imagined;
[02:04.268]	Do not stoop to strategies like this.
[02:14.260]	As someone long prepared for this to happen,
[02:21.120]	Go firmly to the window. Drink it in.
[02:29.370]	Exquisite music. Alexandra laughing.
[02:37.400]	Your firm commitments tangible again.
[02:47.340]	And you who had the honor of her evening,
[02:56.450]	And by the honor had your own restored -
[03:04.690]	Say goodbye to Alexandra leaving;
[03:12.430]	Alexandra leaving with her lord.
[03:21.700]
[03:23.660]	Even though she sleeps upon your satin;
[03:29.900]	Even though she wakes you with a kiss.
[03:37.450]	Do not say the moment was imagined;
[03:43.500]	Do not stoop to strategies like this.
[03:51.800]
[03:53.520]	As someone long prepared for the occasion;
[04:02.450]	In full command of every plan you wrecked -
[04:14.180]	Do not choose a coward's explanation
[04:18.730]	that hides behind the cause and the effect.
[04:28.720]	And you who were bewildered by a meaning;
[04:35.120]	Whose code was broken, crucifix uncrossed -
[04:43.170]	Say goodbye to Alexandra leaving.
[04:51.300]	Then say goodbye to Alexandra lost.
[05:00.150]	Say goodbye to Alexandra leaving.
[05:08.770]	Then say goodbye to Alexandra lost.
