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 . . .
