martha wainwright - alexandria lyrics
i made you my one and only sea
that way wherever i am, there you will be
and at night when the wild wind roars
the child sleeps and again i am yours
and rags that cover us in the daylight
spin to gold in the night light
we are revealed
destiny fulfilled
and i follow
i follow my fame
but then i hijack my days and squander my nights
in your name
i had seen every child+like dream
as a footnote to where we might have been
every orphan goes crying for a name
is now at peace and shall bear no shame
and i’m lost in one opinion
i’m not lost in one definition
we are revealed
destiny fulfilled
and i follow
i follow my fate
now counting the days to squander my nights
in your flame
alexandria, alexandria
i knew that there was more than just goodbye
alexandria, alexandria
i swear you made me blessed to be alive
and all of the times that i’ve lived as a guest
i never dreamed that i’d know love like this
come on darling, come get me out of my head
oh yeah, all the times that i’ve lived a guest
praying my darling, i’m better off dead
come on darling, come get me out of my head
alexandria, alexandria
i knew that there was more than just goodbye
alexandria, alexandria
i swear you made me blessed to be alive
alexandria, alexandria
i knew that there was more than just goodbye
alexandria, alexandria
i swear you made me blessed to be alive
