Leonard Cohen - Boogie Street Lyrics
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 recallThe 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 prepareA man for boogie street.O crown of light, o darkened oneSo 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 fleshAre posted on the door,Theres no one who has told us yetWhat 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 . . .
