[00:00.84] O Crown of Light, O Darkened One,
[00:17.67] I never thought we’d meet.
[00:25.40] You kiss my lips, and then it’s done:
[00:43.25] I’m back on Boogie Street.
[00:57.83] A sip of wine, a cigarette,
[01:05.39] And then it’s time to go
[01:10.43] I tidied up the kitchenette;
[01:13.19] I tuned the old banjo.
[01:20.90] I’m wanted at the traffic-jam.
[01:27.38] They’re saving me a seat.
[01:30.73] I’m what I am, and what I am,
[01:38.55] Is back on Boogie Street.
[01:45.90] And O my love, I still recall
[01:48.49] The pleasures that we knew;
[01:56.72] The rivers and the waterfall,
[02:03.33] Wherein I bathed with you.
[02:09.57] Bewildered by your beauty there,
[02:15.11] I’d kneel to dry your feet.
[02:20.98] By such instructions you prepare
[02:27.13] A man for Boogie Street.
[02:42.78] O Crown of Light, O Darkened One...
[02:55.90] I never thought we’d meet.
[03:05.72] You kiss my lips, and then it’s done:
[03:18.31] I’m back on Boogie Street.
[03:33.84] So come, my friends, be not afraid.
[03:41.15] We are so lightly here.
[03:46.24] It is in love that we are made;
[03:51.89] In love we disappear.
[03:57.97] Though all the maps of blood and flesh
[04:03.53] Are posted on the door,
[04:08.90] There’s no one who has told us yet
[04:17.97] What Boogie Street is for.
[04:25.12] O Crown of Light, O Darkened One,
[04:40.57] I never thought we’d meet.
[04:47.76] You kiss my lips, and then it’s done:
[04:59.93] I’m back on Boogie Street.
[05:16.32] A sip of wine, a cigarette,
[05:22.86] And then it’s time to go...
[05:28.99] I tidied up the kitchenette;
[05:34.54] I tuned the old banjo.
[05:39.68] I’m wanted at the traffic-jam.
[00:00.84] O Crown of Light, O Darkened One,
