[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.
