[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.

[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,

[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

[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.
