Alexandra Leaving - Leonard Cohen (莱昂纳德·科恩)[00:00:00]
Written by:Sharon Robi[00:00:00]
Suddenly the night has grown colder[00:00:01]
The God of love preparing to depart[00:00:10]
Alexandra hoisted on his shoulder[00:00:18]
They slip between the sentries of the heart[00:00:26]
Upheld by the simplicities of pleasure[00:00:33]
They gain the light they formlessly entwine[00:00:42]
And radiant beyond your widest measure[00:00:51]
They fall among the voices and the wine[00:00:59]
It's not a trick your senses all deceiving[00:01:08]
A fitful dream the morning will exhaust[00:01:16]
Say goodbye to Alexandra leaving[00:01:25]
Then say goodbye to Alexandra lost[00:01:33]
Even though she sleeps upon your satin[00:01:43]
Even though she wakes you with a kiss[00:01:51]
Do not say the moment was imagined[00:01:59]
Do not stoop to strategies like this[00:02:08]
As someone long prepared for this to happen[00:02:16]
Go firmly to the window drink it in[00:02:24]
Exquisite music Alexandra laughing[00:02:31]
Your firm commitments tangible again[00:02:40]
And you who had the honor of her evening[00:02:49]
And by the honor had your own restored[00:02:58]
Say goodbye to Alexandra leaving[00:03:06]
Alexandra leaving with her Lord[00:03:15]
Even though she sleeps upon your satin[00:03:22]
Even though she wakes you with a kiss[00:03:30]
Do not say the moment was imagined[00:03:39]
Do not stoop to strategies like this[00:03:47]
As someone long prepared for the occasion[00:03:57]
In full command of every plan you wrecked[00:04:05]
Do not choose a coward's explanation[00:04:14]
That hides behind the cause and the effect[00:04:22]
And you who were bewildered by a meaning[00:04:29]
Whose code was broken crucifix uncrossed[00:04:37]
Say goodbye to Alexandra leaving[00:04:45]
Then say goodbye to Alexandra lost[00:04:54]
Say goodbye to Alexandra leaving[00:05:02]
Then say goodbye to Alexandra lost[00:05:15]
