Boogie Street
Quelle: Spotify
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 Oneâ?¦
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
