ALEXANDRA LEAVING - Leonard Cohen
C Am
Suddenly the night has grown colder.
G F G C
the god of love preparing to depart.
C Am
Alexandra hoisted on his shoulder,
F F G C
they slip between the sentries of the heart.
Em F
Upheld by the simplicities of pleasure
Dm F
they gain the light, they formlessly entwine.
C Am
And radiant beyond your widest measure
F F G C
they fall among the voices and the wine.
F G Am
It's not a trick, your senses all deceiving,
F Dm G
a fitful dream, the morning will exhaust.
C G Am G F
Say goodbye to Alexandra leaving.
Dm G C F C F
then say goodbye to Alexandra lost.
C Am
Even though she sleeps upon your satin,
G F G C
even though she wakes you with a kiss.
C Am
Do not say the moment was imagined,
G F G C
do not stoop to strategies like this.
Em F
As someone long prepared for this to happen,
Dm G
go firmly to the window, drink it in.
C Am
Exquisite music, Alexandra laughing,
F F G C
your first commitments tangible again.
F G Am
And you who had the honor of her evening
F Dm G
and by that honor had your own restored,
C G Am G F
say goodbye to Alexandra leaving,
Dm G C
Alexandra leaving with her lord.
C Am
As someone long prepared for the occasion,
G F G C
in full command of every plan you wrecked,
C Am
do not choose a coward's explanation,
G F G C
that hides behind the cause and the effect.
F G Am
And you who were bewildered by a meaning,
Dm F G
whose code was broken, crucifix uncrossed,
C G Am G F
Say goodbye to Alexandra leaving.
Dm G C
then say goodbye to Alexandra lost.
