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
