"Boogie Street" Lyrics

4.7 / 5
Song updated, review now!
O Crown of Light, O Darkened One,
I never thought we'd meet.
You kiss my lips, and then you're gone;
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 turned 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 instruction 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.
Though 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...

A sip of wine, a cigarette,
And then it's time to go...
