[00:00.00]Alexandra Leaving - Leonard Cohen
[00:00.93]Written by：Sharon Robi
[00:01.87]Suddenly the night has grown colder
[00:06.34]
[00:10.06]The God of love preparing to depart
[00:15.39]
[00:18.61]Alexandra hoisted on his shoulder
[00:22.59]
[00:26.51]They slip between the sentries of the heart
[00:31.84]
[00:33.52]Upheld by the simplicities of pleasure
[00:38.86]
[00:42.20]They gain the light they formlessly entwine
[00:47.22]
[00:51.15]And radiant beyond your widest measure
[00:55.68]
[00:59.58]They fall among the voices and the wine
[01:05.06]
[01:08.23]It's not a trick your senses all deceiving
[01:14.14]
[01:16.67]A fitful dream the morning will exhaust
[01:22.61]
[01:25.23]Say goodbye to Alexandra leaving
[01:30.81]
[01:33.77]Then say goodbye to Alexandra lost
[01:39.21]
[01:43.27]Even though she sleeps upon your satin
[01:47.46]
[01:51.52]Even though she wakes you with a kiss
[01:56.70]
[01:59.87]Do not say the moment was imagined
[02:03.57]
[02:08.03]Do not stoop to strategies like this
[02:13.45]
[02:16.14]As someone long prepared for this to happen
[02:20.35]
[02:24.29]Go firmly to the window drink it in
[02:28.26]
[02:31.26]Exquisite music Alexandra laughing
[02:36.92]
[02:40.90]Your firm commitments tangible again
[02:46.48]
[02:49.53]And you who had the honor of her evening
[02:55.34]
[02:58.12]And by the honor had your own restored
[03:03.50]
[03:06.57]Say goodbye to Alexandra leaving
[03:12.04]
[03:15.69]Alexandra leaving with her Lord
[03:20.23]
[03:22.63]Even though she sleeps upon your satin
[03:28.07]
[03:30.83]Even though she wakes you with a kiss
[03:36.15]
[03:39.18]Do not say the moment was imagined
[03:45.14]
[03:47.45]Do not stoop to strategies like this
[03:52.95]
[03:57.53]As someone long prepared for the occasion
[04:01.92]
[04:05.77]In full command of every plan you wrecked
[04:11.40]
[04:14.31]Do not choose a coward's explanation
[04:18.40]
[04:22.44]That hides behind the cause and the effect
[04:27.65]
[04:29.16]And you who were bewildered by a meaning
[04:34.68]
[04:37.45]Whose code was broken crucifix uncrossed
[04:43.03]
[04:45.85]Say goodbye to Alexandra leaving
[04:51.31]
[04:54.48]Then say goodbye to Alexandra lost
[04:59.45]
[05:02.33]Say goodbye to Alexandra leaving
[05:08.11]
[05:10.95]Then say goodbye to Alexandra lost
