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... I never thought we’d meet. You kiss my lips, and then it’s done: I’m back on Boogie Street. So come, my friends, be not afraid. We are so lightly here. It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear. Though 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... I tidied up the kitchenette; I tuned the old banjo. I’m wanted at the traffic-jam.
