Boogie Street

[ti:Boogie Street] [ar:Leonard Cohen] [al:] [by:] [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. [05:45.00]
