Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Oh crown of light, oh darkened one
I never thought we'd meet
You kiss my lips oh, and then you're gone
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 kitchenette
I tuned the old banjo
[Verse 3]
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 4]
And oh my love, I still recall
The pleasures that we knew
The rivers and the waterfall
Wherein I bathed with you
[Verse 5]
Bewildered by your beauty there
I'd kneel to dry your feet
By such instructions you prepare
A man for Boogie Street
[Verse 6]
Oh crown of light, oh darkened one
I never thought we'd meet
You kiss my lips and then it's done
And I'm back, back on Boogie Street
[Verse 7]
So come my friends, be not afraid
We are so lightly here
It is in love that we are made
In love we disappear
[Verse 8]
Though all the maps of blood and flesh
Are posted on the door
There's no one who as told us yet
What Boogie Street is for
[Verse 9]
Oh crown of light, oh darkened one
I never thought we'd meet
You kiss my lips and then it's done
And I'm back, back on Boogie Street
[Verse 10]
A sip of wine, a cigarette
And then it's time to go
I tidied up the kitchenette
I tuned the old banjo
[Verse 11]
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
