Alexandria - Martha Wainwright

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
