lirik lagu alexandra leaving (live in dublin) – leonard cohen
[leonard cohen]
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 firm commitments tangible again
[sharon robinson]
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 firm 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
