Suddenly the night has grown colder
The god of love preparing to depart
Alexander hoisted on his shoulder
They slept between the centuries of the heart
Upheld by the simplicities of pleasure
They gained the light, they formlessly entwine
And radiant beyond your widest measure
They fled between the centuries of the heart
They fall among the voices and the wine
It's not a trick, your senses all deceiving
A fateful dream, the morning will exhaust
Say goodbye to Alexandra Leroux
Then say goodbye to Alexandra Leroux
Even though she sleeps upon your satin
Even though she wakes you with a kiss
Do not say the moment was imagined
Do not stoop to strategies like this
As someone long prepared for this to happen
Go firmly to the window, drink it in
Exquisite music, Alexandra laughing
Your first commitment's tangible again
And you who had the honor of her evening
And by the honor had your own restored
Say goodbye to Alexandra Leroux
Alexandra leading
Alexandra leaving if her Lord
And what is good do you have other

Alexander leaving even though she sleeps upon your satin
Alexandra living with her Lord
Do not say the moment was imagined






Imagine, do not stoop the strategies like this
The someone not prepared for the occasion
In full command of every plan you write
Do not choose a coward's explanation
That hides behind the cause and the effect
And you who are bewildered by your meaning
Whose code was broken, crucifix uncrowned
Take it back to Alexandria
Take it back to Alexandria
Then take it back to Alexandria
Then take it back to Alexandria
