Version 1 of the lyrics

1  O Crown of Light, O Darkened One   O Crown of Light, O Darkened One, 1
2  I never thought we’d meet   I never thought we’d meet. 2
3  You kiss my lips and then it’s done   You kiss my lips, and then it’s done: 3
4  I’m back on Boogie Street   I’m back on Boogie Street. 4
1   1
5  A sip of wine, a cigarette and then it’s time to go   A sip of wine, a cigarette,                                  5
6  I tidied up the kitchenette, I tuned the old banjo   And then it’s time to go.                         6
7  I’m wanted at the traffic-jam, they’re saving me a seat   I tidied up the kitchenette;                                 7
8  I’m what I am, and what I am is back on Boogie Street                I tuned the old banjo.                                   8
9                                          I’m wanted at the traffic-jam. 9
10  And O my love, I still recall the pleasures that we knew   They’re saving me a seat.                                                10
11  The rivers         and the waterfall, wherein I bathed with you   I’m what I am, and what                      I am,            11
12  Bewildered by your beauty there, I’d kneel to dry your feet   Is back on Boogie Street.                                    12
2  By such instructions you prepare a man for Boogie Street   2
13                                         And O my love, I still recall 13
14  O Crown of Light, O Darkened One   The pleasures that we knew;                14
15  I never thought we’d meet   The rivers and the waterfall, 15
16  You kiss my lips and then it’s done   Wherein I bathed with you.                     16
17  And I’m back, back on Boogie Street   Bewildered by your beauty there,                 17
18                                        I’d kneel to dry your feet. 18
19  So come, my friends, be not afraid, we are so lightly here   By such instructions you prepare                                           19
20  It is in love that we are made, in love we disappear   A man for Boogie Street.                                          20
3  Though all the maps of blood and flesh are posted on the door   3
21  There’s no one who has told us yet what Boogie Street is for   O Crown of Light, O Darkened One…                                     21

22  O Crown of Light, O Darkened One   So come, my friends, be not afraid. 22
23  I never thought we’d meet   We are so lightly here. 23
