Boogie Street

O crown of light, o darkened one, I never thought wed meet. You kiss my lips, and then its done: Im back on boogie street. A sip of wine, a cigarette, And then its time to go. I tidied up the kitchenette; I tuned the old banjo. Im wanted at the traffic-jam. Theyre saving me a seat. Im 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, Id 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, Theres no one who has told us yet What boogie street is for. O crown of light, o darkened one, I never thought wed meet. You kiss my lips, and then its done: Im back on boogie street. A sip of wine, a cigarette, And then its time to go . . .
