None of them
Suddenly the night has grown colder.
F Am Dm
The god of love preparing to depart.
C Bb F
Alexandra hoisted on his shoulder,
F Am Dm
They slip between the sentries of the heart.
C Bb F
Upheld by the simplicities of pleasure,
C Dm Bb
They gain the light, they formlessly entwine;
Gm Bb C
And radiant beyond your widest measure .
F Am Dm
They fall among the voices and the wine
C Bb F
It’s not a trick, your senses all deceiving,
Bb C Dm
A fitful dream, the morning will exhaust
Bb Gm C
Say goodbye to Alexandra leaving. .
F Dm Bb
Then say goodbye to Alexandra lost
Gm C F
Even though she sleeps upon your satin;
F Am Dm
Even though she wakes you with a kiss.
C Bb F
Do not say the moment was imagined;
F Am Dm
Do not stoop to strategies like this.
C Bb F
As someone long prepared for this to happen,
C Dm Bb
Go firmly to the window. Drink it in.
Gm Bb C
Exquisite music. Alexandra laughing. .
F Am Dm
Your firm commitments tangible again
C Bb F
And you who had the honor of her evening,
Bb C Dm
And by the honor had your own restored
Bb Gm C
Say goodbye to Alexandra leaving;
F Dm Bb
Alexandra leaving with her lord.
Gm C F
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 Dm
Do not stoop to strategies like this.
Gm C
As someone long prepared for the occasion;
F Am Dm
In full command of every plan you wrecked
C Bb F
Do not choose a coward’s explanation
F Am Dm
that hides behind the cause and the effect.
C Bb F
And you who were bewildered by a meaning;
Bb C Dm
Whose code was broken, crucifix uncrossed
Gm C
Say goodbye to Alexandra leaving.
F Dm Bb
Then say goodbye to Alexandra lost.
Gm C F
Say goodbye to Alexandra leaving.
F Dm Bb
Then say goodbye to Alexandra lost.
Gm C F
