While written earlier, this song had appeared first on an album in Cohen (and Robinson’s) album Ten New Songs which was issued in 2001.
In the 90’s Leonard Cohen spent five years in a zen monastery, forming his philosophy which was the base for this concept album.
In his words from an interview wi...
Oh Crown of Light, oh 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
I tidied up the kitchenette;
I tuned the old banjo
I’m wanted at the traffic-jam
They’re saving me a seat
I’m what I am, and what I am
Is back on Boogie Street
And oh 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
I’d kneel to dry your feet
By such instructions you prepare
A man for Boogie Street
Oh Crown of Light, oh Darkened One
I never thought we’d meet
You kiss my lips, and then it’s done:
I’m back on Boogie Street
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
There’s no one who has told us yet
What Boogie Street is for
Oh Crown of Light, oh 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
I tidied up the kitchenette;
I tuned the old banjo
I’m wanted at the traffic-jam
They’re saving me a seat
I’m what I am, and what I am
Is back on Boogie Street
