1) Suddenly the night has grown colder
The god of love preparing to depart
Alexandra lifted on his shoulder
Invisible, but naked to the heart
2) Close/Now attended by the ghosts of pleasure
and (all) drunk with need/longing, they formlessly entwine
And radiant/Her radiance beyond your stubborn/wildest measure
She slips between the voices and the wine
And drunk with luck, they foremlessly entwine
Suddenly you feel your lives unweaving
far beyond the station/pattern where they crossed
Suddenly/Silently your life and hers unweaving
Unreadable the pattern where they crossed
Say goodbye to Alexandra leaving
then say goodbye to Alexandra lost
And (when?)/now you see your life and hers unweaving
