Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Oh crown

Of light

Oh darkened one

I never thought we'd meet

You kiss my lips

Then, it's done

And I'm back on

Boogie street

[Verse 2]

A sip of wine

A cigarette

And then it's time to go

I tidied up the kitchen

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

[Verse 3]

And oh, 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 the man

For boogie street

[Verse 4]

Oh crown

Of light

Oh darkened one

Darkened one

I never thought we'd meet

You kiss my lips

And then it's done

Then it's done

And I'm back

Back on boogie street

[Verse 5]

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

[Verse 6]

Oh crown

Of light

Oh darkened one

Darkened one

I never thought we'd meet

You kiss my lips

And then it's done

Then, it's done

And I'm back

Back on boogie street

[Verse 7]

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
