[00:01.54]	Suddenly the night has grown colder.
[00:09.66]	The god of love preparing to depart.
[00:18.13]	Alexandra hoisted on his shoulder,
[00:26.22]	They slip between the sentries of the heart.
[00:33.22]	Upheld by the simplicities of pleasure,
[00:41.82]	They gain the light, they formlessly entwine;
[00:50.88]	And radiant beyond your widest measure
[00:59.32]	They fall among the voices and the wine.
[01:08.32]	It's not a trick, your senses all deceiving,
[01:16.36]	A fitful dream, the morning will exhaust -
[01:25.40]	Say goodbye to Alexandra leaving.
[01:33.57]	Then say goodbye to Alexandra lost.
[01:42.95]	Even though she sleeps upon your satin;
[01:51.30]	Even though she wakes you with a kiss.
[01:59.59]	Do not say the moment was imagined;
[02:07.76]	Do not stoop to strategies like this.
[02:15.91]	As someone long prepared for this to happen,
[02:24.07]	Go firmly to the window. Drink it in.
[02:31.02]	Exquisite music. Alexandra laughing.
[02:40.77]	Your firm commitments tangible again.
[02:49.26]	And you who had the honor of her evening,
[02:57.90]	And by the honor had your own restored -
[03:06.89]	Say goodbye to Alexandra leaving;
[03:15.56]	Alexandra leaving with her lord.
[03:22.30]	Even though she sleeps upon your satin;
[03:30.52]	Even though she wakes you with a kiss.
[03:38.80]	Do not say the moment was imagined;
[03:47.08]	Do not stoop to strategies like this.
[03:57.35]	As someone long prepared for the occasion;
[04:05.52]	In full command of every plan you wrecked -
[04:14.24]	Do not choose a coward's explanation
[04:22.06]	that hides behind the cause and the effect.
[04:28.96]	And you who were bewildered by a meaning;
[04:37.18]	Whose code was broken, crucifix uncrossed -
[04:46.02]	Say goodbye to Alexandra leaving.
[04:54.31]	Then say goodbye to Alexandra lost.
[05:02.46]	Say goodbye to Alexandra leaving.
[05:10.77]	Then say goodbye to Alexandra lost.
