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 streetA 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 streetAnd 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 streetO 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 forO 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 streetA sip of wine, a cigarette
And then it's time to go
