| [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. |
