Boogie Street

O Crown of Light O Darkened One

I never thought we’d meet

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

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

O Crown of Light O Darkened One

I never thought we’d meet

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

O Crown of Light O Darkened One

I never thought we’d meet

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
