[length: 07:57]
[00:00.25]Even though she sleeps upon your satin
[00:03.59]Even though she wakes you with a kiss
[00:08.02]Do not say the moment was imagined
[00:13.08]Do not stoop to strategies like this
[00:16.93]As someone long prepared for this to happen,
[00:21.38]Go firmly to the window. Drink it in
[00:25.45]Exquisite music. Alexandra laughing
[00:30.63]Your firm commitments tangible again
[00:34.78]Sharon Robinson, Alexandra Leaving
[00:38.60]
[01:02.07]Suddenly the night has grown colder.
[01:09.85]The god of love preparing to depart
[01:20.16]Alexandra hoisted on his shoulder,
[01:30.46]They slip between the sentries of the heart.
[01:39.95]Upheld by the simplicities of pleasure,
[01:48.66]They gain the light, they formlessly entwine
[01:58.42]And radiant beyond your widest measure
[02:07.99]They fall among the voices and the wine
[02:19.63]It’s not a trick, your senses all deceiving
[02:29.15]A fitful dream, the morning will exhaust
[02:39.94]Say goodbye to Alexandra leaving.
[02:47.98]Then say goodbye to Alexandra lost
[02:59.33]Even though she sleeps upon your satin
[03:09.02]Even though she wakes you with a kiss
[03:20.14]Do not say the moment was imagined
[03:29.50]Do not stoop to strategies like this
[03:40.68]As someone long prepared for this to happen
[03:49.87]Go firmly to the window. Drink it in
[03:58.42]Exquisite music. Alexandra laughing
[04:10.13]Your firm commitments tangible again
[04:20.52]And you who had the honor of her evening
[04:29.61]And by the honor had your own restored
[04:38.89]Say goodbye to Alexandra leaving
[04:51.02]Alexandra leaving with her lord
[04:59.53]Even though she sleeps upon your satin
[05:08.17]Even though she wakes you with a kiss
[05:18.55]Do not say the moment was imagined
[05:29.32]Do not stoop to strategies like this
[05:39.52]As someone long prepared for the occasion
[05:50.98]In full command of every plan you wrecked
[06:00.49]Do not choose a coward’s explanation
[06:09.10]That hides behind the cause and the effect
[06:18.73]And you who were bewildered by a meaning
[06:27.76]Whose code was broken, crucifix uncrossed
[06:37.76]Say goodbye to Alexandra leaving
[06:47.79]Then say goodbye to Alexandra lost
[06:58.42]Say goodbye to Alexandra leaving
[07:08.88]Then say goodbye to Alexandra lost
