Alexandra in Portugal

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Met you in the sun By the old stone wall Alexandra, you laughed Like you knew me all along Red wine on your dress Salt air in your hair You said, “tell me your secrets” I said, “baby, take a chair” [Pre-Chorus] You talked in soft code About charts and pain I was learning your name In the heat and rain [Chorus] Alexandra, stay close Don’t let this moment pass Alexandra, stay close Like a glass held up to the light We were wine in Portugal And trouble in the night Alexandra, stay close Yeah, stay close tonight [Verse 2] Then Tenerife called With a midnight grin We danced through the alleys Where the warm wind slips in You spoke medical truths With your hand on my arm Said a good heart can fail But love can keep it warm [Pre-Chorus] I watched your face change When the music rose From a clinic-day story To a kiss I chose [Chorus] Alexandra, stay close Don’t let this moment pass Alexandra, stay close Like a glass held up to the light We were wine in Portugal And trouble in the night Alexandra, stay close Yeah, stay close tonight [Bridge] If the world gets heavy And the worry starts to show I’ll be right beside you Where the white sea blows No grand promise, baby Just my honest hand And a road that keeps on leading Back to where we stand [Chorus] Alexandra, stay close Don’t let this moment pass Alexandra, stay close Like a glass held up to the light We were wine in Portugal And trouble in the night Alexandra, stay close Yeah, stay close tonight
