[F] [Dm]
Suddenly the night has grown colder.
[C] [Bb] [C] [F]
The god of love preparing to depart.
[Dm]
Alexandra hoisted on his shoulder,
[Bb] [C] [F]
They slip between the sentries of the heart.
[Am7] [Bb]
Upheld by the simplicities of pleasure,
[Gm] [C]
They gain the light, they formlessly entwine
[F] [Dm]
And radiant beyond your widest measure
[Bb] [C] [F]
They fall among the voices and the wine.
[Bb] [C] [Dm]
It's not a trick, your senses all deceiving,
[Bb] [C]
A fitful dream, the morning will exhaust
[F] [Dm] [Bb]
Say goodbye to Alexandra leaving.
[C] [F]
Then say goodbye to Alexandra lost.
[F] [Dm]
Even though she sleeps upon your satin
[C] [Bb] [C] [F]
Even though she wakes you with a kiss.
[Dm]
Do not say the moment was imagined
[Bb] [C] [F]
Do not stoop to strategies like this.
[Am7] [Bb]
As someone long prepared for this to happen,

Go firmly to the window. Drink it in.

Exquisite music. Alexandra laughing.
[Bb] [C] [F]
Your first commitments tangible again.
[Bb] [C] [Dm]
And you who had the honor of her evening,
[Bb] [C]
And by the honor had your own restored

Say goodbye to Alexandra leaving.

Alexandra leaving with her lord.
[Bb] [C] [Dm]
Even though she sleeps upon your satin
[Bb] [C] [Dm]
Even though she wakes you with a kiss.
[Bb] [C] [Dm]
Do not say the moment was imagined
[Bb] [C]
Do not stoop to strategies like this.
[F] [Dm]
As someone long prepared for the occasion
[C] [Bb] [C] [F]
In full command of every plan you wrecked
[Dm]
Do not choose a coward's explanation
[Bb] [C] [F]
that hides behind the cause and the effect.
[Bb] [C] [Dm]
And you who were bewildered by a meaning
[Bb] [C]
Whose code was broken, crucifix uncrossed
[F] [Dm] [Bb]
Say goodbye to Alexandra leaving.
[C] [F]
Then say goodbye to Alexandra lost.
[Dm] [Bb]
Say goodbye to Alexandra leaving.
[C] [F]
Then say goodbye to Alexandra lost.
