Leonard Cohen - Boogie Street текст песни

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 recall

The 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 prepare

A man for boogie street.

O crown of light, o darkened one

So 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 flesh

Are posted on the door,

Theres no one who has told us yet

What 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 . . .
