| [01:13.180] | Suddenly the night has grown colder. |
| [01:21.740] | The god of love preparing to depart. |
| [01:30.560] | Alexandra hoisted on his shoulder, |
| [01:38.260] | They slip between the sentries of the heart. |
| [01:44.800] | |
| [01:45.450] | Upheld by the simplicities of pleasure, |
| [01:53.780] | They gain the light, they formlessly entwine; |
| [02:02.920] | And radiant beyond your widest measure |
| [02:11.350] | They fall among the voices and the wine. |
| [02:17.600] | |
| [02:19.920] | It’s not a trick, your senses all deceiving, |
| [02:28.360] | A fitful dream, the morning will exhaust – |
| [02:40.010] | Say goodbye to Alexandra leaving. |
| [02:48.510] | Then say goodbye to Alexandra lost. |
| [02:57.270] | |
| [03:01.520] | Even though she sleeps upon your satin; |
| [03:09.820] | Even though she wakes you with a kiss. |
| [03:18.110] | Do not say the moment was imagined; |
| [03:26.330] | Do not stoop to strategies like this. |
| [03:33.700] | |
| [03:38.370] | As someone long prepared for this to happen, |
| [03:49.580] | Go firmly to the window. Drink it in. |
| [04:03.730] | Exquisite music. Alexandra laughing. |
| [04:13.050] | Your first commitments tangible again. |
| [04:19.760] | |
| [04:22.070] | And you who had the honor of her evening, |
| [04:30.630] | And by that honor had your own restored – |
| [04:38.860] | Say goodbye to Alexandra leaving; |
| [04:48.270] | Alexandra leaving with her lord. |
| [04:54.000] | |
| [04:54.960] | Even though she sleeps upon your satin; |
| [05:03.930] | Even though she wakes you with a kiss. |
| [05:11.450] | Do not say the moment was imagined; |
| [05:19.750] | Do not stoop to strategies like this. |
| [05:28.400] | |
| [05:30.050] | As someone long prepared for the occasion; |
| [05:38.240] | In full command of every plan you wrecked – |
| [05:46.670] | Do not choose a coward’s explanation |
| [05:54.890] | that hides behind the cause and the effect. |
| [06:00.570] | |
| [06:01.560] | And you who were bewildered by a meaning; |
| [06:01.640] | |
| [06:02.020] | And you who were bewildered by a meaning; |
| [06:09.860] | Whose code was broken, crucifix uncrossed – |
| [06:18.290] | Say goodbye to Alexandra leaving. |
| [06:27.030] | Then say goodbye to Alexandra lost. |
| [06:32.980] | |
| [06:34.790] | Say goodbye to Alexandra leaving. |
| [06:43.490] | Then say goodbye to Alexandra lost. |
