[00:01.50]Suddenly the night has grown colder
[00:08.50]The god of love preparing to depart
[00:17.50]Alexandra hoisted on his shoulder,
[00:26.50]They slip between the sentries of the heart
[00:33.50]Upheld by the simplicities of pleasure
[00:41.50]They gain the light, they formlessly entwine
[00:50.50]And radiant beyond your widest measure
[00:58.50]They fall among the voices and the wine
[01:07.50]It's not a trick, your senses all deceiving
[01:15.50]A fitful dream, the morning will exhaust
[01:24.50]Say goodbye to Alexandra leaving
[01:32.50]Then say goodbye to Alexandra lost
[01:42.50]Even though she sleeps upon your satin
[01:51.00]Even though she wakes you with a kiss
[01:59.50]Do not say the moment was imagined
[02:07.50]Do not stoop to strategies like this
[02:14.50]As someone long prepared for this to happen
[02:23.50]Go firmly to the window, drink it in
[02:29.50]Exquisite music Alexandra laughing
[02:39.50]Your first commitments tangible again
[02:49.00]And you who had the honor of her evening,
[02:57.50]And by the honor had your own restored
[03:06.00]Say goodbye to Alexandra leaving
[03:15.00]Alexandra leaving with her Lord
[03:22.50]Even though she sleeps upon your satin
[03:30.00]Even though she wakes you with a kiss
[03:38.00]Do not say the moment was imagined
[03:46.00]Do not stoop to strategies like this
[03:57.00]As someone long prepared for the occasion
[04:04.50]In full command of every plan you wrecked
[04:13.50]Do not choose a coward's explanation
[04:21.50]that hides behind the cause and the effect
[04:28.00]And you who were bewildered by a meaning
[04:36.50]Whose code was broken, crucifix uncrossed
[04:45.00]Say goodbye to Alexandra leaving
[04:53.50]Then say goodbye to Alexandra lost
[05:02.00]Say goodbye to Alexandra leaving
[05:10.50]Then say goodbye to Alexandra lost
