Leonard Cohen
Alexandra Leaving

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 are 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.


Mirror lyrics:

Then say goodbye to Alexandra lost.
Say goodbye to Alexandra leaving.

Then say goodbye to Alexandra lost.
Say goodbye to Alexandra leaving.
Whose code was broken, crucifix uncrossed –
And you who were bewildered by a meaning;

that hides behind the cause and the effect.
Do not choose a coward's explanation
In full command of every plan you wrecked –
As someone long prepared for the occasion;

Do not stoop to strategies like this.
Do not say the moment was imagined;
Even though she wakes you with a kiss.
Even though she sleeps upon your satin;

Alexandra leaving with her lord.
Say goodbye to Alexandra leaving;
And by that honor had your own restored –
And you who had the honor of her evening,

Your firm commitments tangible again.
Exquisite music. Alexandra laughing.
Go firmly to the window. Drink it in.
As someone long prepared for this to happen,

Do not stoop to strategies like this.
Do not say the moment was imagined;
Even though she wakes you with a kiss.
Even though she sleeps upon your satin;

Then say goodbye to Alexandra lost.
Say goodbye to Alexandra leaving.
A fitful dream, the morning will exhaust –
It's not a trick, your senses are deceiving,

They fall among the voices and the wine.
And radiant beyond your widest measure
They gain the light, they formlessly entwine;
Upheld by the simplicities of pleasure,

They slip between the sentries of the heart.
Alexandra hoisted on his shoulder,
The god of love preparing to depart.
Suddenly the night has grown colder.

but i was lying

my bologna

your signs

reaching one

going whichever way the wind blows

more wonderful

malas intenciones

you've forgotten

schwarze sonne

subdivisions

seance

loneliest star

caught by the river

come

jos s㤠tarvitset mua

back on the road

l'homme dota d'un nom chaque animal

it had to be you

hey ho wish you well
