Lyrics |
O Crown of Light, O Darkened One, I never thought we ’d meet.
You kiss my lips, and then it ’s done: I’m back on Boogie Street.
A sip of wine, a cigarette,
And then it ’s time to go. I tidied up the kitchenette; I tuned the old banjo. I’m wanted at the traffic-jam.
They ’re saving me a seat. I’m what I am, and what I am,
Is back on Boogie Street.
And O my love, I still recall
The pleasures that we knew;
The rivers and the waterfall,
Wherein I bathed with you.
Bewildered by your beauty there, I’d kneel to dry your feet.
By such instructions you prepare A man for Boogie Street.
O Crown of Light, O Darkened One …
So come, my friends, be not afraid.
We are so lightly here.
It is in love that we are made;
In love we disappear.
Tho ’ all the maps of blood and flesh
Are posted on the door,
There ’s no one who has told us yet
What Boogie Street is for.
O Crown of Light, O Darkened One, I never thought we ’d meet.
You kiss my lips, and then it ’s done: I’m back on Boogie Street.
A sip of wine, a cigarette,
And then it ’s time to go . . .
