Just before our love got lost you said
I am as constant as the northern star
And I said, constantly in the darkness
Where's that at
If you want me I'll be in the bar
On the back of a cartoon coaster
In the blue TV screen light
I drew a map of Canada
Oh, Canada
With your face sketched on it twice
Oh, you're in my blood like holy wine
You taste so bitter and so sweet
And I could drink a case of you, my darling
And I would still be on my feet
I will still be on my feet
Oh, I am a lonely painter
I live in a box of paints
I'm frightened by the devil
And I'm drawn to those ones that ain't afraid
I remember that time you told me
said Love is touching souls
Oh Surely you touched mine
Cause Part of you pours out of me
In these lines from time to time
Oh, you're in my blood like holy wine
so bitter bitter and sweet
And I could drink a case of you, my darling
And I Would still be on my feet
I would still be on my feet
I met a woman she had a mouth like yours
She knew your life
She knew your devils and your deeds
And she said, go to him
Stay with him if you care
But be prepared to bleed
Oh, you're in my blood like holy wine
so bitter and so sweet
And I could drink a case of you, my darling
And I Would still be on my feet
I would still be on my feet |
