Lyrics:

O crown of light, o darkened one,br /I never thought we'd meet.br /You kiss my lips, and then it's done:br /I'm back on boogie street.br /br /A sip of wine, a cigarette,br /And then it's time to go.br /I tidied up the kitchenette;br /I tuned the old banjo.br /I'm wanted at the traffic-jam.br /They're saving me a seat.br /I'm what I am, and what I am,br /Is back on boogie street.br /br /And o my love, I still recallbr /The pleasures that we knew;br /The rivers and the waterfall,br /Wherein I bathed with you.br /Bewildered by your beauty there,br /I'd kneel to dry your feet.br /By such instructions you preparebr /A man for boogie street.br /br /O crown of light, o darkened onebr /br /So come, my friends, be not afraid.br /We are so lightly here.br /It is in love that we are made;br /In love we disappear.br /Tho' all the maps of blood and fleshbr /Are posted on the door,br /There's no one who has told us yetbr /What boogie street is for.br /br /O crown of light, o darkened one,br /I never thought we'd meet.br /You kiss my lips, and then it's done:br /I'm back on boogie street.br /br /A sip of wine, a cigarette,br /And then it's time to go . . .
