Lyrics

O crown of light, o darkened one
I never thought we'd meet
You kiss my lips, and then you're gone:
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 . .
