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. |
| 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… |
