Leonard Cohen - Alexandra Leaving

 (versiyon 1)
Metin boyutu: ( + Büyült ) ( - Küçült)   
Suddenly the night has grown colder

The God of love preparing to depart

Alexandra hoisted on his shoulder

They slip between the sentries of the heart



Upheld by the simplicities of pleasure

They gain the light, they formlessly entwine

And radiant beyond your widest measure

They fall among the voices and the wine



It's not a trick, your senses, all deceiving

A fitful dream, the morning will exhaust

Say goodbye to Alexandra leaving

Then say goodbye to Alexandra lost



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 commitments tangible again



And you who had the honor of her evening

And by that honor had your own restored

Say goodbye to Alexandra leaving

Alexandra leaving with her Lord



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 the occasion

In full command of every plan you wrecked

Do not choose a coward's explanation

That hides behind the cause and the effect



And you who were bewildered by a meaning

Whose code was broken, crucifix uncrossed

Say goodbye to Alexandra leaving

Then say goodbye to Alexandra lost



Say goodbye to Alexandra leaving

Then say goodbye to Alexandra lost
