O Crown of Light, O Darkened One,
(Oh beautiful woman, with such a dark side)
I never thought we�d meet.
(you always seemed so unobtainable)
You kiss my lips, and then it�s done:
I�m back on Boogie Street.
(it was a quick affair)
A sip of wine, a cigarette,
And then it�s time to go
(unhealthy diet of single guy)
I tidied up the kitchenette;
(single guy has no need for full kitchen, sad)
I tuned the old banjo.
I�m wanted at the traffic-jam.
They�re saving me a seat.
(a musicians life)
I�m what I am, and what I am,
Is back on Boogie Street.
(I am single, and just the way it is, sad to be back on bs)
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,
(remembering)
I�d kneel to dry your feet.
By such instructions you prepare
A man for Boogie Street.
(kneeling down is submitting, by submitting to defeat he loses her interest)
O Crown of Light, O Darkened One�
So come, my friends, be not afraid.
We are so lightly here.
(life is delicate, we are not immortal)
It is in love that we are made;
In love we disappear.
(we are loved when we pass on -we hope)
Though all the maps of blood and flesh
Are posted on the door,
(blood and flesh, the efforts of pioneers and map makers -work)
There�s no one who has told us yet
What Boogie Street is for.
(true. Boogie street is a place not to be. It's the singles Hell. The problem is the lack of comfort and even though you could be with many, yet, it is the lonley way.)
O Crown of Light, O Darkened One,
I never thought we�d meet.
You kiss my lips, and then it�s done:
I�m back on Boogie Street.
A sip of wine, a cigarette,
And then it�s time to go�
My interpretation.
