Lyrics:

Suddenly the night has grown colder.br /The God of love preparing to depart.br /Alexandra hoisted on his shoulder,br /They slip between the sentries of the heart.br /br /Upheld by the simplicities of pleasure,br /They gain the light, they formlessly entwine;br /And radiant beyond your widest measurebr /They fall among the voices and the wine.br /br /It's not a trick, your senses all deceiving,br /A fitful dream, the morning will exhaust cbr /Say goodbye to alexandra leaving.br /Then say goodbye to alexandra lost.br /br /Even though she sleeps upon your satin;br /Even though she wakes you with a kiss.br /Do not say the moment was imagined;br /Do not stoop to strategies like this.br /br /As someone long prepared for this to happen,br /Go firmly to the window. drink it in.br /Exquisite music. alexandra laughing.br /Your firm commitments tangible again.br /br /And you who had the honor of her evening,br /And by the honor had your own restored cbr /Say goodbye to alexandra leaving;br /Alexandra leaving with her lord.br /br /Even though she sleeps upon your satin;br /Even though she wakes you with a kiss.br /Do not say the moment was imagined;br /Do not stoop to strategies like this.br /br /As someone long prepared for the occasion;br /In full command of every plan you wrecked cbr /Do not choose a coward's explanationbr /That hides behind the cause and the effect.br /br /And you who were bewildered by a meaning;br /Whose code was broken, crucifix uncrossed cbr /Say goodbye to alexandra leaving.br /Then say goodbye to alexandra lost.br /br /Say goodbye to alexandra leaving.br /Then say goodbye to alexandra lost.
